That’s great!
I did wonder the following:
Did they have oxen driven turnstiles which had hundreds of togas hanging from them? A little crack of the whip and they would begin moving...
Did they have to tell people if they didn’t pick it up in a fortnight, that their togas would be sold off without notice?

"...the laundry kept a supply of urine, which was collected in public urinals and then used to get out tough stains..." And I complain about my job.

I recently saw a stage production of The Music Man. The pompous, tongue-tied Mayor pronounced it, Pom-pee-eye.
Great thread!
