The “hair” adorning the statues on display was perfectly (and sometimes elaborately) coiffed, but there didn’t seem […] -

The Romans version of ketchup was once Garum.
The Romans were obsessed with a condiment called garum. Made from fermented fish, and poured over everything from vegetables and meat to fine dining dishes. It was even believed it had medicinal powers.
It was one of the most valuable foods in the Roman Empire… and then it almost completely disappeared.
What exactly was garum? Why did an entire civilization love a sauce that many people today would not raven eat? Could it be the predecessor of modern condiments like ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, or fish sauce?

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧱🛠️ A 1,900 year old latrine at Hadrian’s Villa in #Tivoli, #Italy, may hold the key to #Roman concrete’s enduring strength.
Researchers from UC #Berkeley discovered that #carbonation, not just the well known pozzolanic reaction, allows calcite to fill cracks and heal the material over time. The findings could guide efforts to reduce #concrete’s massive #carbon footprint.

Con 15,5 kg y 52,9 cm, este es uno de los pocos remaches de bronce conservados conservados de la cubierta del pronaos del Panteón de Roma, que fue demolida por el papa Urbano VIII entre 1625-1626. Fueron fundidos para forjar 80 cañones para ahorrar en la fortificación del castillo de Sant'Angelo, que había sido atacado por los lansquenetes en 1527. 🏛️Museos Estatales de Berlín #antiguaroma #ancientrome

This week's #MythologyMonday theme is sweets. In the story of Cupid and Psyche by Roman Numidian writer Apuleius, Psyche uses honeyed barley cakes to feed Cerberus, the three-headed guard dog of the underworld, to get past him in order to fetch a dose of beauty from Proserpina, the Queen of the Underworld. Descending to the underworld for Proserpina's beauty is the last trial given to Psyche by her angry mother-in-law Venus.

Always a pleasure to catch a glimpse of the Pantheon when in Rome. With thanks to Agrippa for the original, Hadrian for the rebuilding, and the Church for the preservation. #AncientRome
