Uh Kim, why are we focusing on Roman Egypt today?

Okay.

I mean I know that Pompeii a lot of things were preserved by the Vol the famous v eruption of the volcano, but but why do we know so much about Roman Britain specifically?

Okay, well, we're gonna start in in Roman Egypt.

It's 100 AD.

There's a father, let's call him Satiricus.

He's an entrepreneurial tenant farmer who did, in fact, actually exist in Roman Egypt, right?

According to historical records.

And let's say he's married to a Thesus, and together they have the son Horus and a daughter Atlas.

So Kim, can you tell us a little bit what what his daily routine would have been like around that time?

Was that the point of the time that that then you know you can make a bit of m cash money from time?

a weird thing to set munching.

I don't know, maybe it's like crisp back then.
