Wow, that would save a fortune on toilet paper and hand soap
how easy would that be for these modern times? It would also help with cross
contamination etc of door handles as no hands ever touched anything with “germs
on it”

Brilliant. That makes soo much more sense than using trees to make paper. Brilliant Romans.

In Brent Shaw, Spartacus and the Slave Wars (Bedford/St. Martin’s), there’s a story of a gladiator using the sponge and long stick too. I’m surprised citizens would use the same thing. In that story, by the way, the gladiator used his bathroom visit to kill himself, because it was the only moment he wasn’t under supervision. He rammed that stick down his throat, which says something about how much he loved those ancient Romans.

think about Jesus on the cross, in luke (23:36) he said the guards mocked him and offered him vinegar (which is what they used to disinfect the ,often used, sponges) and in matthew 27:48 it is actually stated that someone ran and got a sponge, filled it with vinegar, put it on a stick, and put it to jesus’ lips for him to drink.
I’ve always seen that as an act of compassion, until i read this article, sounds as though i was mistaken. God Bless, Ko
