Скачать или смотреть The FILTHY Truth About Roman Baths (It's Not What You Think!)

We picture Roman baths as the pinnacle of luxury and hygiene. But what if that image is only half the story? This "Brutal History" video plunges into the grimy reality of the Roman thermae.

Forget pristine marble pools; these were noisy, chaotic social hubs and, quite often, disgustingly dirty. Discover how these marvels of engineering were also microbiological nightmares, a breeding ground for bacteria and disease. Learn about the Roman "cleaning" process involving olive oil and a metal scraper called a "strigil," and why hundreds of people—rich, poor, sick, and healthy—bathing in the same unfiltered water was a recipe for disaster.

From thieves in the changing rooms to Seneca's complaints about the noise, this is the story of the Roman baths as you've never seen them before: a vital, democratic social center that was also a serious biological hazard.

-The daily routine of a Roman bath-goer.
