mythologyandhistory, 9 months ago to random Did you know that the Romans' favourite #snack went #extinct? Besides honey & grape juice, meals in #Ancient #Rome were flavoured with imported dates from Judea (#Israel). Date palm fronds were symbolic of #success - lawyers pinned them to their doors & generals wore special "toga palmata". Judean dates were also shelf-stable & delicious. Sadly, by the 19th c., they had vanished. Except for a few 2000-year-old seeds. They were successfully germinated in 2020. #history #food
