Question

Production of a type of this good called biturica may have been named for the local Biturigers tribe. Pliny the Elder described a type of this good produced at Mount Falernus. A massive object designed to store this good was found at the Lady of Vix’s grave. The practice of supplementing this good with sapa led the Romans to discover lead(II) (“led-two”) acetate. (10[2])Objects called kvevri found at Shulaveri suggest that this good was first produced around 6000 BCE in modern-day Georgia. (10[2])Ancient (10[1])Greek writers (10[1])like Diodorus Siculus were shocked that Gauls used this good without mixing it like the Greeks (10[1])did in a krater. A Greek deity of this good was celebrated in a festival (10[1])that awarded prizes (10[1])to the best comedies and tragedies. For 10 points, name this good that Greeks traditionally consumed at a symposium. ■END■
