This is fun. But I don't think any of it answers the original
post. What was a typical travelling food for those in period?
I would think fruits and dried meats. Probably bread rolls.
I know many would carry bags of meal but that's not exactly
"munchable" food. I'm sure there would be vendors in hamlets
and such that would sell pies and such to travellers.

Anything documentable other than rations for Roman soldiers?
