Roman Soldiers Ran Out of Food. How Did They Stay Alive?

An army can survive a battle and still be broken by hunger. What happened when Roman soldiers could no longer count on their next meal? In LIFE BEFORE US EP04, we explore grain supplies, marching rations, mills, transport, foraging, and the difficult choices behind Roman military survival. The story follows the late Roman Republic and the campaigns of Caesar and Pompey, with later comparisons clearly distinguished. Historical illustrations are reconstructions. Where the evidence is uncertain, the episode explains its limits.
