The plebeians ate the same food as any other aristocratic Roman. At the beginning of the city their diet was more than likely heavily grain based but as they gained status and wealth, their foods grew as elaborate as the other people of wealth and status.

∙ 11y agoThe diet of the Roman farmers or peasants depended upon their wealth to an extent. Many country folks are hearty meals, mostly grain based, but meat and eggs were also included. Do not confuse the country people with the city poor. Although the peasants may also have been poor, they ate better than the city poor, as they "grew their own" rather than having to depend upon a grain handout.

The price of food was so high that wheat subsidies had to be given from the government, in order for some of the common people to survive.
Unless they had animals that they could farm themselves, they could not afford meat.
