Adults can get lead poisoning by working with lead in some capacity, such as a person making stained glass, or by eating canned food that was packed in a lead lined can. (Although banned in the United States, lead lined cans for food are allowed in other parts of the world.) As for the relevancy of lead poisoning to ancient Rome, yes, the ancient Romans had the opportunities to contract lead poisoning big time. The pipes leading from the aqueducts to private homes and public fountains were made of lead. (the pipes in the aqueducts themselves were of more durable ceramic) The Romans also literally ate lead. They used lead as a sweetener, especially in wine. Many cosmetics were lead based as were the brightly colored glazes used in their ceramic dinnerware.
