Traditional Thermopolium, an ancient restaurant in the town of Herculaneum, Italy

$Thermopolium, the Latinized version of Greek thermopolion, is literally a place where hot drinks are sold, and can also be translated simply as a “cook-shop”. These places can be regarded simply as cafés or taverns (and are indeed sometimes referred to as tabernae among modern commentators). They were shops where one could get drinks and, in a few at least, some kind of (warm) meal.\nThe thermopolium represents social mobility in Herculaneum in Roman times, where merchants and craftsmen also held a high social status, reserved only to landowners in older times. Drinks and hot food were served in this place, as the name indicates, stored in large jars placed in the richly decorated masonry counter of the tavern.$
