Funny, I remember on a history channel program someone said that the Roman army is the only army in history that has no record of men griping about their food. Of couse the average soldier was probably not used to much better than army food.<br>

However I disagree with the statement that all they ate was bread, though I'd imigine that was their staple. Bread alone will cause some major health problems if one doesn't eat fruits, vegtables, meats and dairy products. One of the things that killed alot of allied POWs in Japanese camps duing World War II was a lack of any foods other than rice. <p></p><i></i>
