Source please?
Also, by plant-based do you mean that the diet can include meat-based sources of nutrition as long as that's not the main source?
I am not saying that plant heavy diets are bad. On the contrary, I live with one but I still eat meat eggs and dairy and would expect ancient Romans with spending money such as Gladiators to do the same.
Edit. Oh yes, tell me exactly how it works by downvoating me and not providing a source. I forgot that I was not in a place of learning.
Also, comparing modern athletes to ancient Romans is about like comparing them to today's gifted teens in terms of pure physicality.
Let the man cook. I want to see what type of jambalaya he brings out
Not sure who downvoted you, but here is a quick source article
That basically backs up exactly what the other commenter hypothesized.
Oh hi, I'm that other guy reading the article that actually hypothesizes that the local diet was heavy in barley and beans and that of the bones examined there were also two anomalous gladiators who are hypothesized to have pinned from other parts of the Romin empire that had a diet much heavier than average in meat.
Shocking that a town in the middle of arid turkey had a higher consumption of plant-based materials that don't spoil as easily when compared to a more coastal or metropolitan environment that had better access to live markets.

So does the fact that they were drinking bone broth for the calcium supplements make them murderers as well?
Citation for gladiators drinking bone broth for calcium?
How do you not even read the articles that you post?
You should work on that it's seeming to be a trend with your vegan fantasy posts.
"But a diet of barley and vegetables would have left the fighters with a serious calcium deficit. To keep their bones strong, historical accounts say, they downed vile brews of charred wood or bone ash,"
Bone ash is a material made by calcifying bones, then crushing them into powder.
right, so bone ash and wood, not bone broth.
And pray do tell what would you call bone Ash when you rehydrate it and turn it into a drink.
Bone and wood ash drink
It's really funny watching you squirm and try to weed your way out of this. How does it feel to be someone trying to preach about the greatness of vegetarianism and at the same time driving people away from it by just being a shitty person and disingenuous??? We both know if this was a your little fiefdumb you would have banned me four comments ago just like you did then there last time you had put your foot in your mouth.
It's really funny watching you believe that a drink is comparable the foundational foods of a diet, to the staple foods. You really have zero clue about nutrition.
