Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Stacips asked the owner: "How much does it cost to buy a set of such surgical instruments?"

"One set?!" The shopkeeper whispered: "You are a doctor from a foreign country and you don't understand that the doctors who perform surgery on Dionynia will use different tools because of the different types of surgery. And, Dioni The Asian Medical College has also sent new surgical tool designs from time to time, and now these surgical instruments in the store are paired together to perform at least five or six different types of surgery."

"Even if you can buy--" The owner looked at the three people and rolled his eyes again: "You can't afford it either."

"We can't afford it?! Tell me, how much does it cost?" At this time, Nick Stratus also got together and said dissatisfiedly.

The shopkeeper glanced at him, pointed to the storefront, and said: "The few things you just picked up are probably worth 30 Ming."

"30 Ming Na?! Just a few small things, it's worth 30 Ming Na?! You are robbing!" Lucasus shouted in surprise.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" The shopkeeper apparently was a mouthful and mouthless argument: "Do you know how difficult those things are? How high are the requirements? I tell you, make one Such a knife takes enough time for us to make 30 copper shields, and it must be made by the best founder to make the surgical tools that meet the requirements of the group of doctors. People say it is good,'in Of course, the tools used to move the knife on people must be very fine, otherwise it is not a life-saving, but a life-saving!' So you can say that the price is not high! And these tools are not available in any ironwork workshop. Turui only has this ability in our Tios Weapon Workshop!"

The three said nothing.

"Also, what I just said is the previous price, they are now 40 Ming Na."

"why?"

"Because for a while, our workshop will not produce these surgical instruments."

"Why is this again?"

"Because our workshop received a major task from the Department of Road and Traffic of Dionysia, they needed to build a stone bridge and needed a huge iron fence to put in the river to empty the river to facilitate the use of boulders and mortar in it (in fact it is' "Daveus cement') pour bridge piers, so our workshop must gather all founders and collect all high-quality iron ore to make these big guys..."

…………………………

Just as Nick Stratus and the three of them happily toured the port market, Effie Alter and his wife took a horse-drawn carriage north to the hot spring swamp of the Tylo River, a tributary of the Koseni River.

At that time Davers became famous in this battle, annihilating the Lucanian tribal coalition, thus laying the foundation for the establishment of the Dionysian alliance.At that time, the big river beach full of corpses now erected a white commemorative column with a height of 20 meters and a diameter of 2 meters. The scene of the war was carved on it, and at the top was a bronze statue of Daveus holding a shield and holding a spear.

This commemorative column for the victory of the Great River Beach was originally called the "pillar of miracles" by the people, which means that the Dionysian consul has won more than less, created a miracle in the impossible, and won an amazing victory. .Later, students from various city schools in the Union were often brought here by teachers, letting them feel the hardship at the beginning of Dionysia's establishment and the greatness of Daveus, and they were nicknamed "pillars of children" by citizens, both children The place where we are educated has its deep meaning. Since this war, the Dionysian Union has grown up like a child who fell to the ground...Of course, this is a later story.

Not far from the commemorative column, there is a large circular tomb, the tombstone is engraved with the "Tomb of the Warriors who died in the Battle of the Great River Beach", and there is also the inscription of Davis: "The war is over, the blood is melted into One."

Bronze statues of two men were erected in front of the tomb. Looking at their costumes, they knew that one was a Lucanian and one was a Greek. They smiled and their strong arms were held together, and the left hand of the Greek man pointed to the east 20. Turri, inside and out, made an invitation gesture, the meaning of which is self-evident.

In the tomb, there were no bones. At that time, the Turiris cremated the bones of thousands of Lucanian warriors. It is said that they burned for three days and three nights after being burned, and then the ashes were poured into the river. Fish and shrimp.Later, the Dionysian Union was established. For political purposes, this tomb was only available under the strong suggestion of Daveus. Every year, people come here to pay homage, mostly Lucanians.

Of course, this is not the main reason why this once desolate area has become lively, but the opposite side of the Delo River pointed by the spear of the Daphes statue. The hot spring marsh that was once full of desert beach ponds and snakes and insects is now Replaced by a huge building.Dozens of diversion canals built with "Daveus cement" introduced the hot spring water from the cracks of the mountain into the building, and finally there was a large water channel that introduced the hot spring water flowing into the building into the river. It is the famous Turi Thermal Baths in Greece.

The Greeks do not like to take a bath, but the Dionysians have developed hygienic habits in bathing under the long-term mission of doctors led by Herps in the hospital in recent years, and they know that bathing with hot spring water is more beneficial to the body.So, on the day when the big bath opened, almost all the men in Turiyi came to the hot spring swamp and wanted to try it out.

The result was overcrowding in the bath.Later, the big bath also revised the rules for this, setting a time period to limit the number of people admitted.

After taking hot spring baths and enjoying a variety of novel services, the Turui men returned to the city reluctantly, and began to proclaim "how wonderful it is to take a bath in the big bath." Even praised: This is the ruler’s adult. An Elysee Paradise built in the world!

And not long after, the public knew that the bath also allowed women to enter.

Since then, the people of Turiyi have been going to the big baths every day, and this is an indispensable enjoyment in life, and the people of other Dionysian cities have come to enjoy it from time to time.

At the same time, the Turiris used the "hot spring bath" as one of the three major entertainments for entertaining guests from far away (the other two were tasting Turiri cuisine and going to the arena to watch a ball game). The "Big Bath" is well-known.

On some special days in Dionia, hot spring baths will also be free to the public, making the large public baths that are cheaper (as long as an Opol) more popular.For example, these few days, the big bath is free for all couples who come to take a bath because of the arrival of the marriage festival.This is why Effie Alter came here with his wife.

Many couples came to the big bath today. Everyone consciously queued up and moved towards the entrance of the bath little by little.

At this time, there was a commotion behind the team, Afa turned his forehead to see what happened.

"What happened?" his wife asked curiously.

"It's nothing. It seems that the two elders of the elders are also here." Effie Alter said dismissively.There are nearly one hundred veterans in the veteran’s home. Except for the Turi people, all the Dionyan citizens in other cities only know the chief veteran Daves, the veterans who have served as chief executives of the city, and those who hold important positions in the legion. Elder.This is not surprising. Whether it is training or fighting, the serving citizens naturally have a deep memory of those officers.

After finally crossing the Tilo River wooden bridge and standing at the entrance, the administrator glanced at Effie Alter and his wife, and asked, "Are you husband and wife?"

The two nodded.

"Dionysian citizen?"

Effiart nodded again, and said, "We are still the couple who participated in the marriage festival this year. Is there a private room with a small bath?" As he said, he extended his left hand, his wife extended his right hand, and wore an iron on his ring finger Ring, with Hera's emblem "Peacock" engraved on it.Because of the suggestion of Daphes, the Temple of Hera, which is responsible for Agnes, not only hosted the celebration, but also gave the newlyweds who participated in the celebration a ring blessed by the Goddess Hera (of course a small processing fee), in order to Encourage and supervise their marriage stability.

"Congratulations!" After confirming, the administrator turned around and looked at the wooden wall with many nails, only one of which had a key.He took it down and put it in the hands of Effie Alter: "Hera blesses you, and there is the last one, the room number is written on the wooden sign. After entering the room, the door is latched and no one will bother you until noon. When the time comes, return the key again."

"Okay, thank you!" Effie Alter led his wife into the middle channel, and the left and right channels led to the men's and women's baths.

Over time, the long dragons lining up at the entrance have almost reached the end.

Seeing the two people in front of him, the bath manager suddenly froze and immediately put on a smiling face again: "Master Pollux, Master Enanilus!"

"Is there a private room?" Pollux asked straightforwardly.

The administrator pointed to the wooden wall with only iron nails behind him and said apologetically: "Because of the marriage day, the room is full."

Pollux dismissed his dissatisfied mouth, ignoring the administrator, but the Davies employee hired a little irony: "Look at our ruler, but I will really take care of the people of Dionysia!"

N'anilus did not answer, and the slaves behind took out four Opols and paid for himself, Polyx, and the two slaves.

After they entered, the administrator excused to urinate and walked into the back room and quickly found the director of the large bath: "Polykes and Enanilus come to take a bath together!"

……………………………

After a short walk along the left channel, a wide area appeared in front of me, with a large pool in the middle, and several small pools next to it, all steaming and misty.

Many men soak in the pool and enjoy the nourishment of the hot spring water; there are others lying on wooden benches by the pool to receive the rubbing of their own slaves or receive massages from specially trained slaves in the baths; there are a few leaning against the wall On the long wooden bench, chatting and talking with each other... They all have a common feature-naked.
