Herculaneum was buried in the AD 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, burying a valuable record of everyday Roman life. Learn how ancient incense, preserved in the eruption, is teaching us about Roman religion and domestic worship in Antiquity 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

doi.orgAshes from Pompeii: incense burners, residue analyses and domestic cult practices | Antiquity | Cambridge CoreIncense burners are frequently excavated at Roman period sites, attesting to acts of combustion within domestic ritual practices, but what was burnt is still uncertain. Here, the authors use microscopy and spectrometry to analyse burnt residues contained within two censers from domestic contexts in Pompeii and a nearby villa. Their results indicate that woody plants were burnt in both censers, either as fuel or offerings, alongside stone fruit or laurel plants and possibly wine or grapes, while traces of Burseraceae resins, originating from Asia or sub-Saharan Africa, provide the first archaeological evidence of incense offerings in the Pompeian domestic cult.

More expensive than gold. Harvested by hand at dawn. There is a reason saffron costs what it does, and it is not what you think. #Saffron #HerbsAndSpices #SpiceHistory #FineDining #CrocusSativus #amazing #Bluesky #Cooksky #Flipboard

beestrot.comSaffron Is the Most Expensive Spice in the World. Here Is Why It Is Worth Every Cent.Forty euros for a small glass vial. That was my introduction to saffron as an ingredient worth understanding. The most expensive spice on earth has held that title for three thousand years, and the reason has nothing to do with fashion. It has everything to do with what no machine has ever been able to do.
