If seen as entire chunks, the anatomy might be a giveaway, but cut into servings, probably not. Pork was very popular in Roman times, but would be expensive; otoh, when the “games” were going, the supply of, shall we say, good substitutes was plentiful and cheap. It wasn’t a good idea to order pork at those times, particularly near the arena.
