Grain mills - crucial technology
Since around 200 BC, grain has been crushed in Europe using hand-operated mills like this. It was then quickly turned into delicious food - such as Roman flatbread. This mill is therefore the perfect piece for your depiction of Roman times. For all those who like to immerse themselves in the life of times gone by, this mill offers the opportunity to try out grain processing for themselves.

Stone mill for camp life
Even the Roman legionaries carried hand mills, the mola manualis, with them to ensure their food supply. Each tent community, the contubernium, was allocated a grain ration and processed independently. The grain was poured in through the opening on the top. The grinding process is then carried out by friction by turning the lever. An enrichment for the field kitchen. The stone discs have a diameter of about 30 cm and are about 5 cm thick. The weight is 15 kg.
It is also ideal for demonstration purposes to give history enthusiasts an understanding of this technique. However, the mill on offer here is not recommended for processing edible foodstuffs, as the stone will be abraded during grinding. The mill is a prop.
Inspiring technology from antiquity
A set of millstones consists of a movable runner (upper millstone) and a hard fixed lower runner / bearing stone (lower millstone) and is used to produce ground material, e.g. grain. The upper stone can be rotated by means of an eccentric handle. It is attached to the lower stone plate with a pin. This tried and tested principle is widely known and replaced grinding stones and mortars.
In many regions of the world, flour was, and in some cases still is, ground in this way. Such mills were often also used to process other raw materials such as ores, clay and pigments for dyeing.
The detail completes the picture
With this mill, you are taking the art of ancient cooking one step further. And your friends will also be impressed by the exceptionally beautiful design. Experience the life of antiquity in every detail and enjoy food that was served at that time. An eye-catcher in the camp!
Note: Stone utensils have been in daily use as tableware in many countries for centuries. However, German legislation requires food certification for their use in accordance with the Foodstuffs and Commodities Act (LFBG), which is unfortunately very expensive and would have a negative impact on the low selling price of our goods. We therefore only offer this product as a prop or replica, which is not certified for food, at least by definition.
