From the site of the city of Utrecht in the Netherlands:
Soldiers who about 50 AD guarded the border of the Roman empire in what is now the Netherlands, as they kept watch ate fish, waterfowl, and shellfish. So says a report, Vroege Wacht, published this week about a Roman watchtower, discovered in Utrecht in 2002. …Rations were probably not enough; as the soldiers in the tower added to it by fishing for carp bream, roach, perch, and especially pike.
Also waterfowl were hunted: the soldiers certainly ate mallard, wigeon, and teal.
