Isicia: Ancient Roman meatballs

In the recipe collection of Apicius alone there are several recipes for meatballs: wrapped in caul, fried or simply simmered in broth, as I did for this video. You need: minced meat (Apicius uses pork), all purpose flour, red wine, nuts, myrtle berries, black pepper, garum fish sauce (or a suitable substitute like Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce or even soy sauce), lovage or parsley.
