Sounds like some of that White privelege.
In a separate excavation, pools 5 to 6 feet deep used for preserving food. I wonder how they used that facility.
One thing about them Romans. They took many baths everywhere....
Sounds like they were making smoked or just salted meat.
Rubbius Dubbius started that tradition.
They also used strigils to scrape off old skin (mostly to remove dirt, I’m sure) and tweezed off body hair which was considered a sign of barbarism.

Heh... the food of Italy has found a home in my waistline, and I've never even *been* to Italy.
I showed no Italian DNA at all in my report (it's worth rechecking that from time to time, btw, as more data is contributed) but A) that was a loooong time ago, B) the Roman army was heavily non-Italian by the time Claudius began the conquest of Britain, and C) just because the DNA ain't there doesn't mean Roman ancestors aren't. :^)
I’ve been leaning on the tower in Pisa.
I got an eyeful of the tower in France.
I’ve been hanging ‘round the gardens in Babylon..........
