Food
For the majority of people in ancient Rome, meals were centered around corn, oil and wine, and, for the wealthy, different types of exotic foods. Cereals were the main food, originally in the form of husked wheat being made into porridge called puls. But later naked wheat was made into bread. Bread was eaten along with sausage, domestic fowl, game, eggs, cheese, fish, or shellfish. Romans loved wine, but they drank it watered down, spiced, and heated. Undiluted wine was considered to be barbaric, wine concentrate diluted with water was also common.
