Classical Latin.Apicius is a text to be used in the kitchen. In the earliest printed editions it was given the overall title
De re coquinaria ("On the Subject of Cooking"), and was attributed to an otherwise unknown "Caelius Apicius", an invention based on the fact that one of the two manuscripts is headed with the words "API CAE". The name Apicius had long been associated with excessive love of food, apparently from the habits of an early bearer of the name. The most famous individual given this name because of his reputation as a gourmet was
Marcus Gavius Apicius, who is sometimes mistakenly asserted to be the author of the book.
