Sounds like the romans should have gone to Vietnam. Nothing like good nuoc mam.

"....fermented fish guts and blood."
The Fermented Fish Guts - a great name for a rock band.

I'll bet this stuff smells and tastes just like Vietnamese Nuoc Mam.

"Such ships usually sank far out to sea where they are almost impossible to locate, de Juan said."
Most ships sank close to shore after they hit rocks or coral reefs. Occasionally they might drift farther out to sea after losing their ballast but generally go down within a couple miles.
It's very unusual for a ship to sink far out to sea without the help of warfare or pirates...unless the ship wasn't designed for open sea travel or was in very bad condition.

From what I read in the excellent book 'Food In History' i was highly salted and was much like the Vietnamese fish sauce.
Also Worchestershire suace is its descendant, being made of anchovies guts and all.
Now, with that, I will go back to my haggis.
