Like concrete and many other so called modern inventions Spam was first developed in ancient Rome. Packed in small earthenware jars and olive oil it was transported all over the empire to be enjoyed by the Legions and civilians alike. It was one of the major culinary advances of the ancient world and was written extensively about by Roman authors including by Pliny in his treatise on Spam recipes "Pro Spamius Prepararius".
