Certainly makes me think twice when I'm complaining about a stressful day at my day job.

Having been a vegan previously, and a vegetarian for a long time (I make exceptions these days for eggs and cheese at social events) -- it's reassuring to know that gladiators would rely on a very similar diet.

That said -- I'm not an expert in the type of science being described -- so who knows. Also, it would have been nice if they found evidence of a pint of beer every other night or something like that.
