1.	How had the Roman survived their lives during famine?
Answer» Solution :The famine for many SUCCESSIVE years in many provinces had clearly displayed for men of any understanding the effect of MALNUTRITION in generating illness. So the city dwellers, collected and stored enough grain for the next year immediately after the harvest, carried off all the wheat, barley, beans and lentils, and left to the peasants various kinds of pulses-after taking quite a large proportion of these to the city. After consuming what was left in the course of the winter, the country people had to resort to UNHEALTHY foods in the spring. They ate TWIGS, shoots of trees and BUSHES and roots of inedible plants.
