Best Answer

The ordinary Romans did not have cold foods. The average Roman's

food was either hot or "room temperature". In very warm weather they would cool down with fresh fruit such as grapes. The wealthy, on the other hand, could afford to have chilled fruits and wines. This was accomplished by means of snow rushed down from the mountains and kept in a lined, underground room used as an ice house. The cold water from the melting snow served to cool their wine (the ancients always watered their wine) and to cool fresh fruits before eating.
