Description

You won't believe it...ehm, I mean, you'll believe it! they pulled my aprons out as obscene, because I hadn't made a thumbnail. Frankly, I didn't think they were so 'hard', I had put 'nudity' as a joke, and only because Flavia insisted! After I put a correct thumbnail they put it back. For those who want to know, I bought at least one of the aprons, together with my students, in my school trips to Rome years ago. They are a typical souvenir students, from primary school upwards, buy for their parents, elder siblings, etc. to sport on BBQ parties and so on. These aprons were sold by Pakistani immigrants, whose religion didn't find anything sinful in selling them. But from some of your comments, it looks that at least some sensibilities might be shocked. The (ancient) Romans used to say: O tempora, o mores! (Oh, what times, oh, what customs!). I'm going to show you in some of the next postings what we usually show our students, freely exhibited even in churches and the Vatican. In front of the stall selling the aprons there is the garden, open to the public, of the Emperor Diocletianus' Baths (Thermae), which are part of the splendid National Roman Museum (Museo Nazionale Romano). This is one of the scenes I saw. Thank you for your kind comments.
