The kitchens in ancient Rome were bustling spaces where food was prepared for lavish feasts and everyday meals. Glass-front cabinets with etched glass designs were not present in ancient Roman kitchens, as glass was expensive and not commonly used for such purposes. Roman kitchens featured stone or clay storage containers, known as dolia, for storing food items. The walls were often adorned with colorful frescoes depicting food, wine, and culinary scenes.
