How much sodium would a Roman peasant's diet contain, in the form that it reached them? With regards to them, I would think salt would be a necessary nutritional supplement, especially since they presumably worked and sweated a lot.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
