SPQR Blues Chapter 4 part V

I never did learn drapery.



A survey of beds in Pompeii and Herculaneum, excluding what are obviously children's cots, shows that Roman beds tended to be very narrow, even though married couples were expcted to spend the night together—for propriety's sake. I suppose one could push two beds together, but I prefer to think that Romans liked to spoon.

About the count: I never posted #3000, so I was able to roll it back by one today.
