Remains of garum factory was discovered in Israel
In Ashkelon (western part of Israel) the remains of the Roman factory of garum – the famous sauce of the Romans from fermented fish remains – were found.
The building was outside the structures of the ancient city, probably because of the stench that hovered in this place. So far, few preserved garum sauce factories have been found.
