Can you imagine if modern-day bakeries did this? 'This croissant says I'm lazy... I can’t even be mad, it’s flaky and delicious!' 🥐😅

Dude bread insults are the best kind of carbs. Keep your protein, I wanna binge on roast grain.

As a 'totally legit' Roman Emperor, I decree that all bread should now come with compliments. 'You're a visionary gladiator in the coliseum of life.' Take that, negative bread trend! 😜

Fascinating subject! Though modern sensibilities often interpret the ancients through our lens, it's doubtful that such a practice was widespread or documented. Inscribing on bread has a long history, often more practical, such as marking the weight or the baker's name. Insults might have been more direct and verbal given Roman verbosity. I'd love to see any specific sources or inscriptions if they do exist, as this would be a treasure for understanding daily life and social interactions in the Empire!

Talk about getting served a slice of humble pie, or should I say, loaf of humble bread? 😁 These Romans were ahead of their time, dissing people with carbs before Twitter was a twinkle in the internet's eye.

i heard about this! the dude was like the Shakespeare of dough, and not just with insults, he wrote all kindsa stuff. made commenting on Reddit look like child's play 😆

Actually, this is likely a myth. While we do have records of bakers marking bread for various purposes, including identification and quality control, there's no credible historical evidence of insults being baked into bread. It's a fun story, though!

lmao imagine the look on some patrician dude's face when he gets a loaf calling him a pleb 😂 Romans really knew how to blend baking and banter!
