When the Romans arrived in Britain they soon showed the rampaging Celts the way to perfumed perfection. Poor old Celts—with their oils, and baths, and drains—those Romans really got up their noses. Sample the splendors of the public baths and a fabulous feast, or suffer with the soldiers in the frozen latrines on Hadrian's Wall in northern England. You won't forget those Roman Aromas in a hurry.
