Oh cool! You got to stay at winter camp... If my understanding of history is correct it was all snow-angels, snowmen and hot chocolate with marshmallows, and watching Christmas movies in the open air cinema 24/7.
The stockade, however, sounded slightly less fun! Although no Crucifixion!!! FISTBUMP
Unconstrained with today's concerns with recycling and eco-friendly products, I would definitely have lobbied Caesar for his own benefit of-course to make the switch to single use sponges!!!
So on the one hand you tell me the pretty ladies were all down in the river then on the other you inform me that so is Caesars 'offcasts'... Jeez this is like Russian roulette!!!
Well, some of the pretty ladies were allowed to use the emperors shitter (literally what it was called 'shitterous emperious') So not all was bad news for the lowly attendant.
Think of what single use sponges would have down for the 'downstream' masses. Nothing good I can assure you.
