They were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business is still. Its. This is the cold r. E. M. Our hot bath or and this is the hot water basin. That we work on garbage in there 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. Or no they go on behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden but hot water was let into the basin through this lions head. The smoke from the fires directed through the under floor system into the house to warm the rooms. When i was bound behind me you see bath sandals which still look modern today and use them flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them with the 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 reveals the. 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. There were this is where the roman slaves the severs 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.
