Roman Cuisine
We can thank "Marcus Gavius Apicius", a Roman gourmet who lived during Tiberius’ reign for details on Roman cooking. Often found in their recipes is a savory ingredient known as "Liquamen" or "Garum": a salty preserved fish sauce. Possibly replicable with Asian fish sauce [or salted anchovies]. Pine nuts, and Caroenum a Sweet Grape Syrup. Here is a recipe for a type of Meat Patty or 'Burger'.

Chart of the Ocean Sea [the Piri Reis Map]

"During a naval campaign against Venice in 1501, a Turkish fleet captured a Spanish ship in the western Mediterranean. One of the prisoners taken had earlier made three voyages to the West Indies with Columbus and carried with him a set of Columbus’ American charts. In this fortuitous manner Kemal Reis, the famous Turkish admiral, acquired maps of great importance showing a newly discovered part of the world. Piri Reis, nephew of Kemal, was born in Gallipoli on the shore of the Dardanelles in 1470. Piri also became an admiral and is remembered as a scholar of navigational science and an accomplished linguist. He produced charts, an important book on navigation, and a superb map of the world, which employed the Columbus maps taken by his uncle’s sailors. Although fragmentary, this work and the Zorzi sketches (#304) are the only world maps with a direct Columbus delineation for part of America"

The marriage of the Amazons to the Scythians which created the Sarmatian Nation

Herodotus wrote of them: 'Amazons', whom the Scythians call ['man-slayers']. Despite wars, some Scythians had a strong desire to obtain children from so notable a race approached them slowly to become acquainted, and taught them the Scythian language, "neither having anything but their arms and horses." The Amazons said, "We could not live with your women - our customs are quite different from theirs. To draw the bow, to hurl the javelin, to bestride the horse... Your women, on the contrary, do none of these things; but stay at home in their wagons, engaged in womanish tasks, and never go out to hunt, or to do anything. We could never agree... But if you truly wish to keep us as your wives... go you home to your parents, bid them give you your inheritance, and then come back to us, and let us and you live together by ourselves... they still observe their ancient customs, frequently hunting... and in war taking the field.."
