It has alternatively been ascribed to Marcus Gavius Apicius, a Roman gourmet who flourished during Tiberius's rule sometime in the first century CE. Furthermore, numerous Roman chefs from the first century CE could have contributed to the book's composition. Many of the recipes call for silphium, a mineral that vanished in the first century CE, so this supports the older date.
