Hmmm. Okay. However, was Apicius in the Byzantine Empire or in the
western half of the Roman Empire? I can't remember if this was
discussed here previously. Perhaps I just assume that with the
comments about "Roman" cooking, despite the claims of those in
Byzantine of being "Romans", that he was from the western half of
things.

Adamantius, any comments?
