So one in three persons (not counting the mule) inside an ancient Roman bakery are making out at any one time is what I am taking away from this.
A reasonable conclusion that I completely endorse
(slightly more serious note - Roman businesses were generally done in the same building, but not the same rooms, as apartment complexes - and if a couple of people wanted a quiet nook to neck in away from the prying eyes of family, the apartment hallway was probably a pretty good corner, so this has some basis in reality!)
As counterintuitive as it might seem to modern eyes, working in the mills and bakeries was actually used as a punishment for disobedient slaves. Pre-modern bakery and mill work is incredibly arduous, miserably hot, and prone to quite lethal accidents - usually fire-related.
Well, at least there’s a place for kissing!
And hey, TY! @PugJesus - you’ve been keeping busy, and keeping me amused since I got myself federated. Cheers!!
Nice! Always happy to help entertain with the smattering of historical trivia and obsessions I have!
