Enjoy Water, Wine, and Oil: Vital Elements of the Roman World
Water, wine, and oil: the soul of the Roman world
By Karl-Wilhelm Weeber
When Emperor Augustus asked him about the secret to his long life—100 years—the old Romilius Pollio replied: "Inside, there was wine; outside, there was oil." The anecdote summarizes the importance of these two vital elements for the ancient Romans. Wine was also important as a commercial product: Roman wine merchants could do good business, especially with the Germanic tribes. It is no wonder that wine, from the Latin *vinum*, is one of the oldest loanwords in German.
Similarly, the Romans shared their highly developed water culture with the defeated peoples. The impressive ruins of enormous thermal baths and the majestic aqueducts are evidence of a typically Roman attitude throughout the ancient Roman Empire. In addition to the civilizing importance of this Roman vital element, Weeber also addresses its economic aspects and tells some strange stories about water, oil, and wine among the ancient Romans.
The volume is richly illustrated with numerous historical illustrations and photographs.
About the author:
Karl-Wilhelm Weeber, born in 1950, is an honorary professor (Ancient History) at the University of Wuppertal and a professor of didactics of ancient languages at Ruhr University Bochum. He is also the former director of the Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium Wuppertal. He has written numerous books on Roman cultural history.
