What did a Roman soldier actually eat for breakfast?
Forget feasts or fancy banquets—these men started the day with puls, a plain barley porridge boiled in water.
No sugar, no milk—just survival.
Sometimes olives, cheese, or dried figs made it bearable.
They drank watered wine instead of coffee, then marched for miles under armor.
Empires weren’t built on comfort—they were built on hunger and discipline.
Could you eat like a Roman soldier?
