Commoners’ Diet

The basic diet of both Roman and Greek commoners was vegetarian (but not exclusively). When these people had access to meat, fish, or cheese they preferred it.

Meat: The most popular meat for Greeks was goat. For Romans it was pork.

Dairy and milk: Came mostly from sheep and goats. Romans did not use butter.

Olive oil: Was freshly squeezed, to avoid rancidity. It was used as an alternative to butter and soap.

Fish: Was domestic, and both fresh and saltwater fish were consumed.

Poultry: Was eaten occasionally, whenever available.
