Romans in General were heavily into a wheat and grain diet. Hence the ‘bread and circuses’ bit. The legions had their own bakeries and they ground wheat, barley and other grains to produce the muesli sort of porridge eaten daily. There is an unconfirmed legend that pizza began from the legionaries during the Jewish War taking the shew bread the Jews baked and making it more palatable by baking it again with cheese and whatever vegetable toppings they could gather.
