Cute, but they dont say much about their sewage system . . . According toRoman Blood, a historicalnovelby American author Steven Saylor, first published in 1991 n followed by many more thereafter, they woul leave crap on the streets outside their houses not bothered whether anyone slipped in . . .
The first painting is of an open marketplace. The second is of the Forum Romanum. People don't dump their waste there.
Hygiene in Rome was not optimal, but there were many sewers, public latrines, baths, and other sanitation infrastructure in place.

i admit you may be right Bro, but if u're keen on Roman Civ, i'd still urge you to read, quote Wiki -> "Roman Bloodis ahistorical novelby American authorSteven Saylor, first published byMinotaur Booksin 1991. It is the first book in hisRoma Sub Rosaseries of mystery novels set in the final decades of theRoman Republic. Saylor's best-known work is hisRoma Sub Rosa
historical mysteryseries, set in ancient Rome. The novels' hero is a detective namedGordianus the Finder, active during the time ofSulla,Cicero,Julius Caesar, andCleopatra. Outside this crime novel series, Saylor has also written two epic-length historical novels about the city of Rome,RomaandEmpire. His work has been published in 21 languages". . . unquote
He is famous as the gay erotic fiction writerAaron Travis. Saylor has lived with his partner Richard Solomon since 1976 and they officially registered asdomestic partnersin San Francisco in 1991.
Steve Saylor is not a dumbhead by any standards and has been honoured by the Academia of Italy for his work . . .

That's okay. But I still don't see the link between people disposing of their waste and the paintings.
So why do you say it? I find it quite an appallingly needless remark to make.
Thanks for pointing the book out to me. But what I think you need to understand is that it is inappropriate to talk about human waste when there is no reason to do so. These are beautiful paintings made with a lot of love.
Not only that. We share several past lives on this planet. Try to see the unique moments of those times as well. Maybe it helps to process past lives that way. Sometimes when I read or see about times in our history I get emotional and want to know as much about it as possible. I then also often feel as if I have processed something. A laconic attitude doesn't help with that.

I meant to say, we have lived different lives on this planet.
Yes, you're correct, i apologise for not seeing it in that perspective, thank you

很高兴你理解。否则,你的贡献to the conversation was rather similar to the waste in ancient Rome, ejected onto the streets for anyone to step in.
