It depends. If they were poor, they lived on a diet on porridge, vegetable soup and bread. If they were wealthy, they had their meals cooked by slaves. For breakfast, they had a small meal of mainly nuts and berries. For lunch, they also had a small meal including nuts and bread. Dinner was the biggest meal. The first course was a meat course. The meats included :Duck, Goat, Pheasant, Dog, Fish and Chicken. The second course was a snack including berries or/and nuts. The last course was lettuce, because the ancient Romans believed lettuce helped you sleep.

They did not only have 1 meal, they had breakfast, lunch and supper; like we do.

They would also have had snacks.

I think they couldn't afford fancy food for parties or for a big group of people.
