They were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business associates. Isnt this is the cull daria pass. This is the hot water basin us. Thats one robert and just imagine when the bombs 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. Or and 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 under floor system into the house to warm the rooms. And there jaime you see bath sandals which still look modern today and even some 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 if 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 bomb. 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. You were this is where the roman slaves the savages prepare the meals and as we can see everything here is functional can even see the sort on the walls we also hold roman style cooking events here against the other what did the romans eat of yeah you are high society tossed pretty much everything in the part that had a heart beat start flamingo tongues who started all mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here in the excavations and also.
