Hellenistic Egypt: A land of opportunity. A rich, ancient, fertile land where anything is possible.

Hello! Welcome back to another episode of The Delicious Legacy

Bustling and busy cities with their markets and food stalls, and sellers hollering theirs goods isn't a new phenomenon exclusive to our metropolis of New York or London. These markets and people existed as long as cities existed!

But how these markets were organised in the ancient Mediterranean? What did they sell? How did they smell, who could trade and where in the city were they?

Well let's find out on the latest episode where we explore a particular market of a town that we have so much information -found quite literally in the rubbish- written by her own inhabitants, at the time they were alive!

I'm talking of course of the City of the Sharp-Nosed Fish, or as we know it , 'Oxyrhynchos', and the episode today is based on the book of Peter Parsons.

Enjoy!
