I don't know if you are interested in serving a meat dish or not, but if you are interested in a vegetarian dish, then I would suggest, Tisanam Barricam/...
I would suggest "porcellus hortolanus" (Apic. 8, 7, 14) if you haven't tried this yet. This may be sufficient for 15-20 legionarii. In the Satyricon there is a...

Another really good book is Patrick Faas, Around the Roman Table. Although this is not an actual translation, so to speak, it has plenty of recipes at hand. I...
