Garum was a Roman food that was produced on a large scale in antiquity. A kind of ‘ancient ketchup’, they say. This comparison is extremely flawed, says author and natural scientist Christian Mähr.
Garum was not a trivial condiment that you pour over your food or not. A few years ago, there were new archaeological discoveries: in the Tunisian city of Nabeul, a hundred quarries were discovered under the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, the shape of which was already known from excavations on land. In ancient times, Nabeul was called “Neapolis”, which is ancient Greek and means “new city”. There were several cities with this name, the most famous Greek foundation is today’s Naples.
