The Romans were a health conscious people. Moderation was their motto, so to speak. Contrary to what Hollywood would have you believe about their banquets, most Romans were moderate in their eating habits, (although their choice of foods may seem gross to us) kept regular hours, exercised regularly and bathed often. They considered cleanliness a healthy, integral part of their culture which set them apart from the barbarians.
