Did Romans invent relish

The Romans did not invent relish as we know it today, but they did create a variety of sauces and condiments that could be considered precursors to modern relishes. One example is "garum," a fermented fish sauce used to enhance flavor in many dishes. Additionally, the Romans enjoyed pickled vegetables and fruits, which share similarities with contemporary relishes. Thus, while they didn't invent relish, their culinary practices influenced the development of similar condiments.
