They were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business is still. There is a river this is the cold r. E. M. Our hearts pass. This is the hot water basin. That we work on garbage and just imagine when the bulbs were in use you had an indoor climate comparable with a modern steam bath it was 35 degrees celsius in here with condensation dripping from the ceiling. For no they go on behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden the hot water was let into the basin through this lions head. The smoke from the fire was directed through the underfloor system into the house to warm the rooms. When i was in the warm and i mean you see bath sandals which still look modern today and you should flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them most hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot and the fires werent all that far away or so hot people found it necessary to protect their feet so they made these ancient flip flops and if it was the box. Theoretically i could take a bath right here and now they are fully functional. Another essential part of the roman lifestyle was of course good food up to 30 courses might be served at feasts. There were this is where the roman slaves the savages prepare the meals and as we can see everything here is functional even see the sort on the walls we also hold roman style cooking events here. So there what did the romans eat.
