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. Dolabella runs through her usual sales spiel about the baths for our benefit although the style of her delivery leads us to believe she's rather fed up with her job and the clientele she has to deal with on a day to day basis. 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.
