Rome, 410 CE. The most powerful empire on Earth is surrounded.
Alaric the barbarian names his ransom: 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000 of silver... and 3,000 pounds of Indian pepper. 🌶️
This wasn't about seasoning food. It was psychological warfare.
For 3,000 years, Rome, and the entire West, was addicted to Indian spice the way modern nations are addicted to oil. Alaric knew exactly where to strike. He exploited a dependency Rome couldn't hide.
Columbus died trying to reach India. Empires fell fighting over spice routes. One commodity. Three millennia of addiction.
This is the story they don't teach you.
💬 Comment: What's today's version of "pepper" that nations can't live without?
