Love Your Local

I had the great good pleasure of playing Pub Host - AKA Guv-nah - at the Globe whilst the owners were on vacation in August. Gotta love your local... it was nice to see so many folks from my pub days show up. A good time was had by all.

Lead piping in Ancient Rome, bacchanalia explained?

The word plumber dates from the Roman Empire. In Roman times, some roofs were made of lead, or plumbum in Latin (hence the periodic table of the elements symbol of 'Pb' for lead). Lead roofs were waterproof, and the workers on such roofs were what are now called "plumbers". Roman Baths later used lead for piping and for the main baths. ^[2] Thus, a person with expertise in working with lead was known as a Plumbarius, eventually shortened to plumber.
