Fast food bars, like this one based on examples at Pompeii and Herculaneum, opened directly onto the street or marketplace. They served a variety of snacks and refreshments. 

Kentish seafood was renowned in Rome. Oysters from the beds at Reculver and Richborough were taken back to Rome as delicacies, transported in sea water to keep them fresh.

Seafood - mostly oysters, but also mussels and whelks- were also eaten in Canterbury, brought from the nearby coasts.

Some people in Durovernum Contiacorum would have relied on food bars like this for meals. Containers set into the counter held prepared food to be ladled out.

Wine, sauces and olive oil were kept behind the counter in the large storage vessels (amphoras) they travelled to Canterbury in.

Even a small fragment of an amphora can tell archaeologists where it came from and what it contained.

서기 79년 베수비오화산 폭발에 묻힌 폼페이유적에서 로마시대 패스트푸드점이 발굴됐다 하거니와, 그 양태를 이해하기 위한 좋은 자료다. 영국 유학했다가 뜻한 바 이루지 못하고 귀국해서는 수능셤을 본 리승수 군 제공이다. 

영국 켄터베리 소재 캔터베리로마박물관 Canterbury Roman Museum 전시 모형이라는데 약간 차이가 있기는 하나, 이번 발굴성과와 대략 합치하는 재현이다. 저 화덕은 실제 불을 때서 조리를 했는지가 불확실하나, prepared food를 팔았다는 점으로 보아 따습게 유지하는 정도? 역할을 하지 않았나 한다.
