The romans recognized saul and special qualities long ago as excavations near the village of bach have shown archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman villa here its been reconstructed on its ancient foundations the only one of its kind in the world i want to know more so i for arranged to take a tour. Isnt it we are in the reception hall this is where guests were received or typical of these halls where the conference ceilings then we have the semi columns the plaster columns decorating the room or down below all the frescoes in the pump a star you know were not here weve been able to reconstruct an original most 8th floor. Of. All the tiles found here are some 2000 years old archaeologists believe the entire room was painted with them. As we move on to the heart of every roman villa the bass. They were big enough to accommodate in the prince friends and business is so. Its. There isnt it this is the cold r. E. M. Our hot bath or and this is the hot water basin. That we were 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. And often though they go on behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden is hot water is let into the basin through this lions head. The smoke from the fire is directed through the underfloor system into the house to warm the rooms. When i was in your warm and very high i mean you see bath sandals which still look modern today and you can see in flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them. Hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot for 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 that long. To read a cli 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 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 we were our society tossed pretty much everything in the part that had a heart beat stuffed flamingo tongues stuffed doll mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here and the excavations and.

Him from becoming the greatest sculptor of brazils baroque. The ruin of amos has a strong religious tradition there are chapels all over the city this one depicts a scene from the passion of christ these.
