Photos tomorrow! Mainly because I did something interesting today, namely cleaning sand out of a Roman bath house. A curator is studying the plaster on the walls so we are cleaning out all the sand blown in since the last restoration in the 1970s. It was going to be a 2-hour project but it’s turned into a couple of days instead because there was more sand and more complications than we thought. But it’s got two nice tubs from the caldareum and the frigidarium and some interesting plastered brick flooring that I uncovered today. Then it’s back to the boring old trench 4.
May post a photo of that later on today . . . . .
Does your mamma know you are working in a bath house, young man?

Ha, I’ve been wondering how to turn that into a running joke. . . . .
