I don't know much, but I did glean a tiny bit about this from the show "Good Eats" on Food Network.
From the nutrional anthropologist he routinely has on his show, I remember hearing that before durum wheat was available in Italia, the Roman lower class and some upper class were supposedly eating things similar to linguine - but it was an 'egg' pasta not a dried pasta like we so commonly see in use today.
