Explanation: Ancient Roman predecessors to modern pizza used pomegranate, amongst other fruits. Of course, such proto-'pizzas' lacked tomatoes (as tomatoes come from the Americas) and probably lacked mozzarella (as mozzarella is first mentioned during the Renaissance).

The busts are of Emperor Titus, partyboy, bicon, and general good fellow.

What's the name of the predecessor and where would I find a recipe?
