NIGHT LIFE ROME

The Via Salaria (salt road) was one of the oldest roads in Italy. It was the route by which salt was transported from the coast to Rome. The ancient Romans went to great lengths to promote and preserve the salt trade in Italy, recognising the benefits of salt as a preservative and it's many health benefits. Salt took on a religious and social significance in the ancient world connecting it with the idea of a covenant or a binding relationship. To eat salt with another person was to create a bond of friendship. Throwing salt over your right shoulder would remove a curse. In some cultures salt denoted a position of honour and the placement of the salt cellar declared that person the "salt of the earth"…
