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. (10[1])A massive object (10[1])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. Objects called kvevri found at Shulaveri suggest that this good was first produced around 6000 BCE in modern-day Georgia. Ancient Greek (10[1])writers like Diodorus Siculus were shocked that Gauls used this good without mixing it like the Greeks did in a krater. A Greek deity of this good was celebrated in a festival that awarded prizes to the best comedies and tragedies. For 10 points, name this good that Greeks traditionally consumed at a symposium. ■END■
