A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
RULES:
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.
Follow Piefed.social rules.
Explanation: Romans had a taste for garum, fermented fish paste. They put it on everything - bread, meat, fruit, even in their wine! Garum was considered so vital that it was a part of many slaves' rations; and while low-quality garum was everywhere, high quality garum, like high-quality wine, could go for truly exorbitant prices - some garum off the coast of modern Portugal went for 1000 sestercii for a gallon and a half - over a year's wages for a common worker!
How’s this different from fish sauce, an essential component of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine?
Not particularly. I've actually heard it compared in taste by people who've recreated it to Thai fish sauce.
Sounds really good then!
