It's not hard to say, at all. A person who lived in that place at that time would have drunk alcoholic grape juice. Wine.
It was likely to be stronger than the lightly alcoholic stuff we drink here in the states (our in the modern world, broadly). Greek and roman wines both had a higher abv than our contemporary offerings.
15-20%...10-12%
(helped them store better without refridgeration and with inadequate means to prevent contamination - convenient, since you have to stop fermentation, somehow, to get the wines we make now - doing nothing of the sort gets you a higher number)
