The spices of the East were valuable in 1492 AD. During these Middle Ages, a pound of ginger was worth a sheep, a pound of mace worth three sheep or half a cow. Pepper, the most valuable spice of all, was counted out in individual peppercorns, and a sack of pepper was said to be worth a man`s life .
