Discoveries around the ancient Romans always surprise the world. So it is with the new one. It turned out that one of the main delicacies for them was a slow-roasted giraffe ham. In addition, they ate other exotic delicacies such as flamingo fillets, gazelle meat, seafood and hedgehogs from distant seas.
To flavor these delicacies, so strange to modern society, they generously used spices that came to the Apennine Peninsula two thousand years ago, even from Indonesia.
The new discoveries are the work of a group of American archaeologists from the University of Cincinnati. For 10 years, they conducted systematic excavations in the ash-strewn city of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, the prosperous city of the Pompeii Empire.
At a conference in the United States, scientists presented their most interesting discoveries and finds, which were from the neighborhoods where less wealthy Romans lived.
As the most remarkable discovery, scientists have pointed to the sewers of their former pubs or groceries. It was in them that they found physical evidence of what the ancient Romans ate.
The samples showed that in addition to the listed exotic delicacies, Roman citizens also emphasized foods loved to this day such as lentils, wheat, olives, walnuts, fish, including salted from Spain, eggs, chicken and other delicious foods.
According to the leader of the team of archaeologists - Stephen Ellis, the finds in Pompeii somewhat correct the notions of ancient cities full of poor and beggars. It is clear to them that even low-income Romans always found a way to eat well.
They even allowed themselves a roasted giraffe's thigh, as evidenced by the well-cut femur of the long-necked African animal found in Pompeii.
Excavations in the area continue. Scientists hope to come across more discoveries with which to put together the complex puzzle around such an interesting everyday life and way of life of the ancient Romans.
