The Romans did not have pack lunches. Most Romans ate at the themopolium (plural thermopolia), which was a bakery. The word was Greek and meant "a place where (something) hot is sold" It sold ready to eat food and it has been considered the forerunners of restaurant and the food they served had been compared to today's fast food. It served the poor who did not have a private kitchen. It had a counter at the front with recesses for heat efficient containers. Many had dining areas at the back. However, most people eat their food on benches along the sidewalk.

Most Romans lived on the upper floors of the insulae (apartment blocks four to seven floors high) which had small and overcrowded rooms with no running water, cooking facilities or toilets. People went there only to sleep and lived outdoors. They went to outdoors public toilets and to the public baths and eat outdoors. Bread and other grain based foods were all that the poor could afford. Therefore, the bakeries were the places where the food they ate was made and sold. The bakeries were extremely busy and, due to the masses of customers, people ate sitting on outdoors benches. The thermopolia were scorned by the upper classes who had a kitchen in their domus (detached house).
