The manufacture and export of garum was an element of the prosperity of coastal Greek emporia from the Ligurian coast of Gaul to the coast of Hispania Baetica, and perhaps an impetus for Roman penetration of these coastal regions. Although it was a staple of the Roman Empire's cuisine, few production sites were known to exist in the Eastern Mediterranean. In 2019 a small 1st-century factory was discovered near Ashkelon.
