Salt – the Currency of Antiquity.
Many ancient towns – not to mention whole regions – used to base their prosperity and influence on salt. The oldest method of salt-making was by evaporation of sea-water in flat basins that produced salt-crystals. ‘Fleur de Sel’, scooped up in wafer-thin layers by wooden hand shovels, is the highest quality of salt still made in this way. Later, salt came to be mined underground, and produced in saltworks after a lengthy purification process.
