Viventius thanks for tracking down all the links in reference to ancient Roman use of cabbage.
Thanks also to John for your thoughts on the subject.
Valerius thanks for the humor you provided in your post.
I was talking to another Roman reenactor of Legio XX (in the Washington, D.C. area) about making cabbage rolls for a Christmas Day dinner. In the course of the conversation, she and I wondered if the ancient Romans had cabbage or sauerkraut in their diet - thus, the subject of my post. Given the above links, I feel some justification in providing a cabbage dish for the Legio XX Lupercalia dinner this February.
