The Roman’s got around.

They set up vineyards in Britain.

Warmer times.

Back when global warming wasn’t caused by factories but by human’s breathing too heavy!!!

If I recall, Romans at one point put a high value on cleanliness and they believed sweating a lot was a means of deep cleansing. Thus they put fires underneath the floors of the baths to make them into saunas.

They should be careful, all of those bath salts, could be flesh eating “zombies” in the area

I was able to see the Roman Colosseum in Tunisia. It was in much better shape than the Collosseum in Rome. I bet this Roman bath was used for the same purposes as the baths in Pompeii.

In a separate excavation, pools 5 to 6 feet deep used for preserving food. I wonder how they used that facility.
