Did you know that cheese was one of the 'weapons' of the Romans?.

It was the Romans who invented the wheels of cheese , and was partly perhaps because of them who managed to win many battles and expand their empire. At least that's what counts Troy Johnson in one of the episodes of "Crave," a Food Network program that premieres Aug. 29.
