Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cena was the main meal of the day and the most consistent. Before going to bed, Romans enjoyed vesperna, which was a light meal. However, these three meals were not a constant throughout the history of the Roman Empire. As the Roman Empire grew larger and more prosperous, the main meal of the day, cena, changed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Romans ate three meals during a typical day. The first meal (breakfast) was called the “ientaculum.” It was usually eaten around sunrise and consisted of bread and maybe some fruit. The next meal (lunch) was called the “prandium". The prandium was a very small meal eaten around 11 AM.
