The source for this recipe is poem once attributed to Virgil, Moretum (around the 1st century), collected into the Appendix Vergiliana. This text shows the average day of a poor farmer and his diet, describing thoroughly the preparation of his modest meal: the flatbread with its filling, moretum, made with aged cheese, garlic, and fresh herbs from his garden.
For cooking the flatbread, we used the testum. Testum was a terracotta cooking vessel characteristic of ancient cuisine, a sort of portable oven. It is difficult to buy one, so we made our own at home. You can use instead a regular oven or a pan to cook the bread.
