About this audiobook
Rome didn’t bathe to get clean—it bathed inside a lie. Balneum Sepsis drags listeners beneath the perfume and marble of Rome’s grand thermae to reveal a world of shared water, crawling lice, infected strigils, and unchecked disease. With brutal atmosphere and a forensic eye for hidden systems, Lucius Vespillo exposes how luxury masked infestation, how ritual became contagion, and how an empire’s proudest institutions could quietly weaken it from within. If you want ancient Rome without the polish, this audiobook offers a darker, more unforgettable descent.
