No, the Romans did not eat rice as a food. They only used rice as a medicine for stomach ailments. To the Romans rice was an extremely expensive medicinal ingredient which was imported from India. Rice only became widely known in Europe after the Arab invasion.

Yes, ancient Romans ate wheat. Much of the wheat consumed by Romans came from Campania, and from elsewhere in the empire, particularly the provinces of Sicily, North Africa and Egypt.

Varieties of rice originated in Asia and Africa. Although known to Alexander the great's troops 2300 years ago, it did not spread commonly west into Europe until several hundred years later.
