Roman Culture

Food

- Rich Romans got to eat more exotic food, that being meats like fowl (birds), beef, poultry, lamb, pork, and fish. 

- Poor Romans stuck with eating the Mediterranean Triad, which consisted of the basic items like olive oil, wine, barley, vegetables, and fruits

- To the rich people, flavor didn't matter. The level of exoticness and complexity to make was what mattered



Clothing

- wore togas or tunics 

- The more markings on the toga, the higher the status. Poor Romans didn't have any markings 

- Only male citizens were allowed to wear togas
