A tourist's guide to the treatments and political intrigues of an Ancient Roman Bath... the Bath of Dolabella. Owned by a normal run of the mill corrupt politician called Narone, these baths are a state of the art health paradise for your average under worked, over stressed city bureaucrat with a big arse.

For example she demonstrates her massage technique on one of her regular clients. She gives us the facts and figures about how the baths function and the special mineral qualities of the water. The therapeutic differences between cold and hot baths are mentioned in some detail. Dolabella also lists the herbal remedies and some more exotic treatments such as bathing in pig's urine...
