It’s hard to believe now, with cinnamon so readily available and inexpensive, but cinnamon used to be given to reigning monarchs. Indeed, it was even considered an acceptable gift to the gods. To put the price of cinnamon into understandable terms, a pound of cinnamon during Roman times was worth about 50 months worth of wages. Though it was highly prized, you can see why it was used sparingly. Unless you were Emperor Nero, of course. This guy was so excessive, or maybe just feeling guilty for his part in her death, that he burned a year’s worth of cinnamon on his wife’s funeral pyre.
