Mythologies around the things (chickpeas)
Cicerone and the chickpeas
How long, O Catiline, will you abuse
our patience? This in
Latin “Quo usque tandem, Catilina, abutere patientia nostra?” Is what most
people know of all the work of the Roman who even today is considered a model
of speakers, and whose knowledge and language caused quite a few headaches to
the students who had to translate. Anyway, Marco
Tullio Cicerone was a key figure on many plots and conspiracies
of his time, he shared time with Cesare, Pompeo, Ottaviano,
Marco Antonio ... His ability as a lawyer allowed him to earn a fortune. Caesar's
murder caught him off guard, and hesitated which side to be. In the end Marco
Antonio ordered ordered his murder.
In the old
Rome, the last names were related to some vegetable: for example the Lentulo
(lentils), the Fabio (beans)… in cicerone´s case his last name appears to be
referring not to the fact that his family sold chickpeas, but to the fact of a
mole on the face of some of his ancestors.
Chickpeas (cicer arientinum) got their name from the Romans, meaning "ram-like." This description refers to the seed's resemblance to a ram's head. If you look, you will even see the curling horns. Also widely known as garbanzo beans. Many believe that chickpeas increase energy AND the sexual desires of both men and women.
- Sheik Omar Abu Mohammed, 16th century Magrebi arab, wrote in The Perfumed Garden that chickpeas can cure impotence, and they should certainly be eaten to serve as a sexual stimulant.
