1. CHARIOTEERS DRANK AN ENERGY DRINK MADE OF GOAT DUNG-戰車駕駛員喝下甪羊屎做的健康飲料

Romans didn’t have Band-Aids, so they found another way to patch up wounds. According to Pliny the Elder, people in Rome patched up their scrapes and wounds with goat dung. Pliny wrote that the best goat dung was collected during the spring and dried but that fresh goat dung would do the trick “in an emergency.”-

羅馬人没有OK繃帶，他們用羊屎塗在傷口上。最好的羊屎是春天收集，然後曬乾。但剛拉的羊屎對急救無效。

That’s an attractive image, but it’s hardly the worst way Romans used goat dung. Charioteers drank it for energy. They either boiled goat dung in vinegar or ground it into a power and mixed it into their drinks. They drank it for a little boost when they were exhausted.

羅馬人用羊屎，幾乎並非最糟的方法，雖然它是很吸引人的景象。他們用醋將羊屎煮沸，磨成粉，再加入飲料。疲勞時，飲用一點提神。

This wasn’t even a poor man’s solution. According to Pliny, nobody loved to drink goat dung more than Emperor Nero himself.

此方劑甚至並非窮人之藥方。據說它是暴君尼羅王之最愛。
