Regulation of Alcohol in Greco-Roman Antiquity
A careful analysis of Greco-Roman sources reveals the various types of regulations involving alcohol that existed in antiquity. The primary concern was with consumption, including the appropriate way alcohol should be drunk (without leading to improper behavior such as impudence or violence), where it should or should not be drunk (such as in bars or at locations of religious importance), how much money should be allocated to it (for a proper con…
Battling on Boards: The Ancient Greek War Games of Ship-Battle ( Naumachia ) and City-State ( Polis )
Only two distinct board games (and their variants) are firmly attested among Greeks in the Classical period (fifth to fourth centuries bc). The first, eventually known as “Ship-Battle” (ναυμαχία), is first attested in the seventh century bc and was played (ordinarily) with ten counters and a die on a board with five parallel lines or a circle of ten spots. The second, known usually as “City-State” (πόλις), is first attested in the fifth century b…
Insulting Middle-Finger Gestures among Ancient Greeks and Romans
It is often claimed that ancient Greeks and Romans “gave the finger” (that is raised up the middle finger) in the same manner and with the same meaning as found in North America today. However, a careful examination of ancient Greek and Latin sources shows that, while a number of ancient insulting gestures involved the middle finger, there is no certain evidence for the exact use of the modern gesture
Did Ancient Greeks Drink Beer
In some recent scholarship it has been suggested that ancient Greeks commonly drank beer. However, a careful examination of ancient sources, both for negative evidence (the lack of references to beer-making and beer-drinking among Greeks) as well as for positive evidence (the mentions of beer as a foreign product), supports the commonly held belief that Greeks in the archaic and classical periods did not regularly drink beer. There is also no evi…

On a beautiful girl and some good barley beer
A propos d’une belle fille et d’une bonne bière d’orge. L’inscription gauloise trouvée sur un peson de fuseau nata vimpi I curmi da doit peut-être se traduire : «Belle fille, bonne bière d’orge ». Curmi (ainsi que Κούρμι, κόρμα, curmen et aussi κάμον / camum) paraît avoir été employé pour désigner la bière d’orge ; tandis que cervesa (et ses variantes) était employé pour désigner la bière fabriquée à partir de froment
