вино

По рекомендации рачительного хозяина Марка Порция Катона Цензора (II в. до н.э.) рабам, помимо хлеба, оливкового масла, рыбного рассола и подпорченных фруктов, полагалось выдавать в год от 150 до 260 литров вина. Это получается почти до бутылки в день. Если довольствоваться хлебом и оливковым маслом и отказаться от рассола и фруктов, - вполне себе правильное питание.

UPD. Первоисточник:
56 Familiae cibaria. Qui opus facient per hiemem tritici modios IIII, per aestatem modios IIII S, vilico, vilicae, epistatae, opilioni modios III, conpeditis per hiemem panis P. IIII, ubi vineam fodere coeperint, panis P. V, usque adeo dum ficos esse coeperint, deinde ad P. IIII redito.

56 Rations for the hands: Four modii of wheat in winter, and in summer four and a half for the field hands. The overseer, the housekeeper, the foreman, and the shepherd should receive three. The chain-gang should have a ration of four pounds of bread through the winter, increasing to five when they begin to work the vines, and dropping back to four when the figs ripen.

57 Vinum familiae. Ubi vindemia facta erit, loram bibant menses tres; mense quarto heminas in dies, id est in mense congios II S: mense quinto, sexto, septimo, octavo in dies sextarios, id est in mense congios quinque; nono, decimo, undecimo, duodecimo29 in dies heminas ternas, id est in mense30 amphoram; hoc amplius Saturnalibus et Conpitalibus in singulos homines congios III S; summa vini in homines singulos inter annum Q. VII. Conpeditis, uti quidquid operis facient, pro portione addito; eos non est nimium in annos singulos vini Q. X ebibere.57 Wine ration for the hands: For three months following the vintage let them drink after-wine. In the fourth month issue a hemina a day, that is, 2 1/2 congii a month; in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth months a sextarius a day, that is, 5 congii a month; in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth months 3 heminae a day, that is, an amphora a month. In addition, issue 3 1/2congii per person for the Saturnalia and the Compitalia. Total of wine for each person per year, 7 quadrantals; and an additional amount for the chain-gang proportioned to their work. Ten quadrantals of wine per person is not an excessive allowance for the year.
58 Pulmentarium familiae. Oleae caducae quam plurimum condito. Postea oleas tempestivas, unde minimum olei fieri poterit, eas condito, parcito, uti quam diutissime durent. Ubi oleae comesae erunt, hallecem et acetum dato. Oleum dato in menses uni cuique S. I. Salis uni cuique in anno modium satis est.58 Relish for the hands: Store all the windfall olives you can, and later the mature olives which will yield very little oil. Issue them sparingly and make them last as long as possible. When they are used up, issue fish-pickle and vinegar, and a pint of oil a month per person. A modius of salt a year per person is sufficient.


если я правильно понял, то
quadrantal = 28.4 л
modius = 8.8 л
sextarius = 0.56 л
hemina = 0.28 л

Таким образом, в год до 284 литров вина, т.е. больше бутылки в день!
