Garum

[Iulia Cassia Vegetia]

I will be bringing some really delicious Thai fish sauce
in my new Garum bottle to Roman Days NE in Maryland.

I widened the bottom slighly so that it could stand easily on a table.
It is about 9" tall.

Here is a reproduction, but glazed rather than beeswaxed on the inside:

These sell for $48.00 US.
