Day in the Life

The first thing I do in the morning is wake up and eat breakfast. For breakfast, I eat fruits and drink wine. I eat in the triclinium in my house, which is the dining room. There are three benches that you lay down on and eat. Then I am off to work. I perform many tasks as a doctor, such as dry cupping. This is where a cup with a piece of burning wood in it is placed on the unbroken skin of someone, creating a small vaccum. There is a blister left by this, however it takes out all the bad spirits in one's body. After I have performed my various duties for the morning, I use my lunch as a break and go to the forum. Much goes on at the Forum. Political issues are discussed, and if a member has died, his funeral is sometimes going through the forum. There are many little shops as well. The forum is the center of life for the Romans. After that, I go back to work. After work however, I take a trip back to my house for dinner. My house is small because I am the only one that lives there, but I like it just the same. There is also a spot for me to practice various treatments/remedies. After dinner, I would make my nightly offerings and prayers to the gods. I worship them always, for they control my fate. Sometimes after that, one of my patients visits my house for an emergency, but this happens often. After I help them, I am off to bed to get ready to wake up and do it all over again.
