The Romans came to Spain in 218 BC and remained for nearly six centuries. During this time, they built roads to facilitate travel, established new towns, and developed Roman architectural styles that are still famous today. The Romans also introduced new agricultural practices such as olive cultivation, wheat varieties, and legumes like lentils and chickpeas to Spanish diets. While the Romans ate with their fingers rather than knives and forks, they did use spoons to consume soup.
