Q1: What was a daily diet like for a Roman in Britain?

[Answer]

Romans liked food and took great trouble in its preparation.

Many of the foods for the wealthy came from the Mediterranean. Fish sauce was a favourite, as were olives and dates. The wealthy also got meat to eat, while the poorer got just vegetables.

The army was fed plenty of food but it was cold and simple. This was meant to make them hardy!
