    So my question is what did going out for dinner cost a family of 4 in Roman Imperial times? Family goes out to eat at Chariots drive inn.
    Orders 2 Hannibal Burgers, blood rare. 2 Britanicus stuffed German Brats, 4 Vesuvius molten malts.

    Now I am sure there were eateries like this, formal with toga, tie and Gladiator shoes, everyday garb with sandals and casual robe.

    Does anyone have an idea ?

    According to Pliny, dinner would get much more expensive with a side of silphium since it was “worth its weight in silver.”
