The plant is described as known since ancient Egypt and as a symbol of 『クチーナ・ポーヴェラ（貧しい台所）』 (in translation: "cucina povera [poor kitchen]") from ancient Roman tables through medieval monastic gardens to the present day.contextual

Scope: Popular-history description on the official Rome tourism-office website

Note: It is general-audience historical narration by the tourism office; the primary classical-philological sources have not been checked.

It cites Horace's line and introduces a lineage of use since ancient Egypt, from Roman-era tables through medieval monastic gardens to modern 『cucina povera』.
Limitations: It is a popular-history description; no retrospective verification of the cited primary source itself, Horace's original text, has been conducted.
