If you are asking what the Romans served their food on, they generally used hand-made pottery. One kind that the wealthier people liked was called "terra sigillata," a fine red pottery with a glossy surface, which often had designs engraved onto the surface. Poorer people used a more coarsely made, and less fancy, kind of pottery. The Romans had cooking pots, serving plates, bowls, storage jars, and flasks for drinking. the very wealthiest people had utensils (like spoons and forks) made from silver or gold.

What would a roman man eat for dinner?

A Roman man would eat whatever he could afford for his dinner. A poor man would more than likely have a plate of beans sprinkled with oil and a glass of posca. A wealthier person would have meat and veggies and bread while the very wealthy would have eggs, a type of salad, meat, cheese, bread and fresh fruits or honey cakes for dessert along with a fine wine. Forget the exotic foods, such as peacock eggs, stuffed dormouse, flamingo tongue--these were reserved for special occasions and special banquets and not eaten as everyday foods.
