Wonderful discovery. I'm really interested to see that the Roman method of building pigeon towers is the same as the modern Egyptian method (or one of them). Old habits and all that.

imagine a world where the heroes of olympus series was one big crossover. a world where we meet an eleven year old boy named jason, no last name because it reminds him of his mother — a drunk who literally threw him to the wolves as a toddler. jason, who's earliest memory is chewing on a stapler and his older sister tending to the wound on his bottom lip — but he hasn't seen or heard from her since they were separated years ago. jason, who grew up reaching for the sky like a purpose, desperate for a chance to prove himself. jason, who fought to save the world at fifteen years old. and jason, who finds himself in the grand canyon four months later with no memory of who he is or where he came from, feet away from some frantic sixteen year old girl in search of some dude named percy jackson. imagine what this could have been.

Ancient Roman Laundry Uncovered Near the Vatican in Italy

1,700-year-old laundry tubs and tiled floors were discovered by construction workers.

Construction workers in Italy recently came across the site of an ancient laundry near the Vatican, officials say.

Italy's Ministry of Culture announced the surprising findings in a press release on June 14. The discovery was made during construction efforts at Piazza Pia, a Roman square that Italian officials are "pedestrianizing."

Pictures of the site show archaeologists uncovering ancient tiled floors several feet below ground level. Tubs, which were used to clean dirty clothes, were also found at the site.

Excavators also uncovered what appear to be ceramic shards from destroyed artifacts. Officials also discovered pits, which may have once been used as baths.

In a statement, Italian officials said that the site was likely built to be an imperial residence. The housing would have overlooked the Tiber River "in a scenic way with arcades, walks and gardens," officials described.

Between the second and third centuries, the site became a fullonica – or a laundry.

According to the World History Encyclopedia, launderers in ancient Rome used human and animal urine as detergent. They often collected urine – which contains ammonia – from public restrooms.

"The urine was poured into a vat with the clothing and the fullers (or their slaves) would tread on the cloth, agitating it the way a modern-day washing machine does, to remove stains and odors," the World History Encyclopedia's website reads.

"This profession continued, operating in the same way with the same cleaning agents, for hundreds of years after the fall of the Roman Empire and up into the modern age when soap replaced urine."

Romans would bring their dirty laundry to a fullonica and pay to have it cleaned. Even though citizens generally looked down on launderers for their unhygienic washing methods, launderers were paid very well.

In a statement, Archbishop Rino Fisichella said that the recent discovery of the fullonica "brought [him] back in time."

"This part of Rome will again be made visible to all, and as a citizen I can only express a sense of deep gratitude," he said. "[The laundry room] was the meeting place of the people, the people, the women of the era."

Pedri via Residency - October 6, 2023

He's looking forward to coming back, recovery is going well and it won't be long now

He's doing well now that there's less time until he will be back

He's of course gonna watch the national games and wishes he could play with them

He hopes to be back after the international break

If everything goes well he’s gonna be back and giving his all for El Clásico

For him, Barça's best dressed player is Kounde

He’s training and getting treatment pretty much every day

Barça has a very good squad and whoever they play will do a good job (as a response to the noticeable absence of him and Frenkie)

How do you manage to stay positive through injuries? -There is no other way! We have to get up and come back stronger, injuries are part of our job, we have to assimilate them and work harder to come back better

F1 oder NBA? - Tough decision, but NBA

He thought Ferran’s last goal was “top 🦈”

he’s happy :)

The last time he ate bananas was 2 hours ago as a snack

He thinks about the roman empire every day

His favourite nickname is Pedri

It’s difficult to choose one particular match as his favourite

He spent a few hours playing the new FIFA

Me, as a Resident Evil and a WWE fan:

Come on Capcom, where’s that Resident Evil Code Veronica remake? Aka the real RE4.

(also, I just wanted to point out the irony of a Code Veronica sign appearing during a Bloodline segment. The Redfield bloodline jokes continue!)
