That didn’t make much of a difference but that’s why I’m re-glazing them. At least I know it’s cleaned and prepped, definitely got the dirt and pollen off of them.

Stockpile of 2,000-year-old gemstones found in Roman bathhouse drain
Tumblr media
Archaeologists recently uncovered a stockpile of 2,000-year-old glittering gemstones clogging the drain of a Roman bathhouse near Hadrian's Wall in Carlisle, England.
The 30 engraved, semi-precious stones — known as intaglios — likely dropped out of the ring settings worn by bathers who took to the waters sometime during the second and third centuries A.D., The Guardian reported.
"It's incredible," Frank Giecco, the archaeologist who led the excavation, told The Guardian. "It's caught everyone's imagination. They were just falling out of people's rings who were using the baths. They were set with a vegetable glue and, in the hot and sweaty bathhouse, they fell out of the ring settings." Read more.

The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy
The thermae were probably constructed during the reigns of the emperors Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla. This was between 211 and 216/217 AD.

This is FINE

There's more than one reason why he's known as the 'Demon Cop'
Look this is 100% self gratifying crack. Based on my own 100% genuine experience:
I have a large tattoo, across my chest, shoulder blades and back. So, I was fairly resigned to the fact I'd probably never get to go to a public bath whilst visiting my friend in Japan, fair enough. One day however, she says she'd found a bath that allowed tattoos, and not just tiny ones that could be hidden by a plaster. So I go, very excited, and end up round the back of an area with a lot of signs advertising SoapIands and LoveHoteIs. I explain in the shakiest Japanese to the lady manning the counter that I have a large tattoo and she waves me in nonplussed. Pretty much every man there is covered in tattoos. Whilst I was drying my hair, one of them tries to ask me something but my Japanese was no where near good enough to answer. When I get back my friend seemed a little worried and then confesses that she'd found out, after I'd left, that she'd sent me to a yakuza bathhouse.
I wish I was able to understand what that man was trying to say to me.
also, the bonus aftermath:

They stopped by a bathhouse and almost got kicked out.
(Not so subtle excuse to draw the boys in nothing but towels)

hey Sam! Hope you are having a great start to the weekend! I hear there is a Roman-style bath house (aire ancient baths) in Chicago set up in an old factory. Is this something you would consider trying?
Oh yeah, I've heard of Aire for a while now -- I know some folks who went and enjoyed it, although it was always out of my price range pre-pandemic.
I don't know if it's truly Roman-style, it feels more Roman-themed -- it has all the moving parts, but it's been marketed more as a spa experience, not a bath-house as we might think of them (with plenty of people all moving about between rooms as they choose). If you look at the available packages you can see what I mean. And looking at how the prices have risen, it's still a bit out of my range for something like that. It used to be like $90 for the basic package.
While less authentic to the Roman experience in terms of frigidarium, caldarium, etc. I feel like Red Square (the Russian bath in Chicago) or King Spa are actually much more similar to the ancient Roman experience of communal baths. Particularly with King Spa, you have access to a bunch of different rooms and temperatures, so while there's less bathing other than the hot and cold pools, there's more correlation in terms of "You can move between temperatures fairly quickly in a social setting". And King Spa has great food!

Claw Foot Tub update! The tub has been moved into the bath house! We picked this up a few years back. It was in awful shape. James has spent the last couple weeks sanding and painting the outside as well as the feet. He’s working on the inside now that it’s out of the rain. When he’s done sanding, I will refinish it. And I have enough product to also do the pedestal sink and our kitchen farm sink. Before and Mid-Project photos:

I love these weirdos. They are so cute. I know most people prefer Ilmo, but I'm a Jakko stan. That passiveness. NO! Energy saving - fabulous!
