Yes, bread was a staple of Roman diet. The poor almost excessively eat bread or porridge There was a grain dole which was distributed to the poor. One of the city of Rome's biggest tasks was to import vast amounts of grain to feed its enormous population. Egypt supplied half of this grain. Other major suppliers were Tunisia Sicily and Sardinia.
