Beard says that back then Italy imported most of its olive oil. Thing is, they still do, and from the same place: Spain. Italians have the brands and the international markets, but the oil in a massive % still comes from Andalusia.

Awesome 👍 Edit; Word is, Testaccio is one of the coolest, most progressive neighborhoods in Rome. As far as the local population goes anyway. It's like San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury or Seattle's Capitol Hill or Greenlake districts. If you're a tourist, and you want to catch a glimpse of where the cool young locals hang out in the, "Eternal City," Testaccio's surrounding neighborhoods is one of your best bets, for sure. (So I've heard, anyway. 👍)

I am looking at this video because I am reading a book, the author Kate Eberlen, the book title Only You. It has this written in the book I thought it was a joke, turns out it is not. Sorry for doubting it. Learn something new everyday.

Not sure it means broken top mountain. More like 'ugly turn in the river'!

Ran on olive oil? Ran on slaves.
