Oh great and knowledgeable Twitter, I know fish sauce was big in ancient Rome but was it still used in the MA? Or fish oil? If oil for what?

Remained in use in Constantinople! Fed to Liutprand of Cremona in the 10thC, much to his disgust! http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/history/students/modules/hi127/programme/neighbours/neighbours/liudprand_of_cremona.pdf …pic.twitter.com/MpBVvJbCCy

ok but not into the 15thc as far as we can tell? so maybe the "fish oil" I'm reading is just fish oil, used for...something

(in the west, still being produced in 8thC Italy, but production seems to die out after this, or usually assumed so)

I find myself becoming instantly suspicious whenever I read that some cultural element died out in 8th C!

Indeed! Usually said to be last evidence of production, fwiw, but is some possible evidence from Amalfi >
