The first is that the consumption of this fiber-rich food, which also contains phytate, may interfere with absorption of iron and other nutrients. The second is that although wheat contains protein and a rich array of vitamins, it is deficient in vitamins A, C, D, and B 12 . 92 A diet that is composed of predominantly cereals and little else could easily result in eye diseases, rickets, and so on. The redress relies on diversifying the basket of food. Papyrological materials point to the availability of various inexpensive legumes, including lentils, beans, chick-peas, flat beans, fenugreek, lupines, arakos, and so on even for the poor. 93 In Roman Palestine, fruits and vegetables included legumes, olives, grapes, figs, dates, beets, cabbages, and squashes. 94 Root crops may have played an important role in the survival of the poor. 95 The nutritious values of these vegetables and fruits vary. 96 More importantly, their availability in most of the regions in the Roman Empire was subject to seasonal fluctuations. Fermented, cured, pickled, and dried goods were created for off-season consumption and for food that spoils easily. 97 Robert Allen has envisioned a "Mediterranean respectability basket" (per year), which is composed of bread (182 kg), beans/peas (52 l), meat (26 kg), olive oil (5.2 l), cheese (5.2 kg), eggs (52 91 Paul Erdkamp, "The Food Supply of the Capital," idem (ed), The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Rome (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013), 262.

Supported by comparative materials from the developing world, Holleran has argued that in the case of Rome, the immigrants tended to be trapped in absolute poverty, and that migration had a negative impact upon the employment market, which did not help with increasing wage levels. 188 Yet, led by (often false) perceptions of opportunities, immigrants may still move to the urbs. 189 Joining the army may also be a way out of poverty. In Aquileia, a nicely carved epitaph marking a decently sized tomb commemorated a navy veteran, who said he was born in deepest poverty (natus summa in pauperie). 190 The recruitment of soldiers, however, did not target the poorest segment of the population. As M. Speidel has reminded us, Tacitus' references to the soldiers as mostly from "the destitute and the vagrant" (inopes ac vagi) may have been a projection of his aristocratic prejudice. 191
