The Roman Empire mined its salt, from salt ponds along the Adriatic Sea and in Greece. Smaller quantities were produced by evaporating brine along the Tyrrhenian Sea west of Italy.

Normally, prisoners and slaves were used for this purpose, which is the basis for the slang term "working in the salt mine," which is drudgery, or working in tedious, oppressive conditions.
