Heinz Heinen
Heinz Heinen (September 14, 1941–June 21, 2013) was a German-Belgian historian of classical antiquity. He was  a professor of ancient history at the University of Trier from 1971 to 2006.  Heinen's main research areas were Hellenistic Egypt and Roman Egypt, Augusta Treverorum in the Roman era (the predecessor to modern Trier), Crimea in the Roman era and the wider northern Black Sea region, Soviet and Russian historiography and views of antiquity, and slavery in antiquity (and in ancient Rome).

Crimea in the Roman era
The Crimean Peninsula (at the time known as Taurica) was under partial control of the Roman Empire during 47 BC to c. 340 AD and the 6th to 13th century. The territory under Roman control mostly coincided with the Bosporan Kingdom (although under  Nero, from 62 to 68 AD, it was briefly attached to the Roman Province of Moesia Inferior).
Rome lost its influence in Taurica in the mid third century AD, when substantial parts of the peninsula fell to the Goths, but at least nominally the kingdom survived until the 340s AD. The Eastern Roman Empire, that survived the loss of the western parts of its empire, later regained Crimea under Justinian I and controlled portions of the peninsula well into the Late Middle Ages, particularly through the successor states of the Empire of Trebizond and the Principality of Theodoro.
Thursday salt
Thursday salt is a dark salt produced in the Kostroma region, Russia. It is associated with Russian Orthodox Easter traditions, and was historically produced at the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery on Maundy Thursday.

The salt is created by mixing rock salt with flavourings such as kvass, herbs, or rye, and baking the mixture at a very high temperature for several hours. The process reduces the sodium chloride content and increases the content of other minerals such as calcium and potassium.

Kvass
Kvass is a fermented, cereal-based, low-alcoholic beverage of cloudy appearance and a sweet and sour taste.

Kvass originates from northeastern Europe, where grain production was considered insufficient for beer to become a daily drink. The first written mention of kvass is found in Primary Chronicle, describing the celebration of Vladimir the Great's baptism in 988.

Traditionally, kvass is made from a mash of rye bread or rye flour and malt soaked in hot water, fermented for about 12 hours with the help of sugar and bread yeast or baker's yeast at room temperature. In industrial methods, kvass is produced from wort concentrate combined with various grain mixtures. It is a drink known in Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Kvass (or beverages similar to it) are also popular in some parts of China, Finland, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.
