The need to eventually install a chit system using clay tokens to limit wine consumption sounds like a policy that should have been in place in the 700 level.

I wonder if the toilet areas were any better than the old metal troughs in the Vet's men's rooms? Being a child of the 80's and of a single mother, I was scarred by the experience the first time I had to use the men's room at a Phillies game.
Your post is more accurate than you can possibly imagine! The Colosseum more or less had a jail underneath, which would go on to inspire the Vet almost two millennia later
