There has been a lot of misinformation regarding the Roman soldier's diet. The biggest fallacy is that they were vegetarians. Wrong. The army had a high need for protein and they got that from meat. Meat was also easier to carry on field trips. Excavated bones reveal that the soldiers ate ox, sheep, goat, pig, deer, bore chicken and hare. In places away from Italy, they ate the animals that were native to the territory, such as ibex, elk, bear. Broken beef bones were found which suggest the extraction of marrow for soup. Alongside the animal bones archaeologists have found equipment for roasting and boiling meat and cheese making gear. However, wheat, barley and oats were also a big part of a soldier's diet.

∙ 10y agoBread was the basic food in the ancient Roman time when the Colosseum was one of the main sources of entertainment in ancient Rome. The government of ancient Rome used bread to feed the masses of people on the socalled "dole". Thus it can be logically inferred that bread was a convenient food eaten during the "games" held at the Colosseum.
During games and theatrical performances the Romans were known to eat salted peas, similar to the ones we find in Oriental Mix today.
