Julius Caesar, being a Roman man of wealth, would have eaten bread much like we do today; that is, the dough would have been made of wheat flour, water, and yeast, and would have been set out to rise. Then it would have been baked in an oven until the outer layer of the bread was browned and crusted. As the taste of bread by itself is rather bland, the Romans would have eaten it with an olive oil dip, mixed with various herbs and spices.
Christ, a poor man of Judea, would have probably eaten similar bread, just as the poor in Rome would have, though would not have had the means to bake it himself, and would have probably never had it fresh, but instead hard and stale, and probably only ate it out of necessity rather than the fact that he liked the taste of it.
Christ, however, would have eaten unleavened bread made of wheat flour on the Jewish holiday of Passover, as a part of Jewish tradition dating back to the time of Hebrew slavery in Egypt.
