Thank you for the photo, it really helps to visualise what the daily rations will have looked like! I hope your bucellatum turns out better than mine did - my hard tack is the dog's milk of bread, it only lasts longer because no one will eat it... Nice to have a use for my pestle and mortar though.

Quote:I have found a wonderful source, Jonathon Roth's 1998 book The Logistics of the Roman Army at War 264BC-AD235. He presents the evidence as well as the thoughts of past academics to come up with some decent figures on ration allowances.
Have you seen Marcus Junkelmann's Panis Militaris? In it he recreates a number of Roman recipes using military equipment and food found on military sites. The photos are wonderful. I don't think his is based on marching rations though!
