This is a story about Lucius, a Roman bathhouse builder who has the ability to travel between bathhouses of different time eras. Apparently the Roman bathhouses are just as much a force as the Roman legions. Lucius brought up bathhouse design from the modern era and that proved pivotal in the battle of Jerusalem, and literally the fate of the Roman empire hangs in his bathhouse designs. It's pretty crazy and funny, but almost believeable. For example it looks like the Roman empire ended up being extra bathhouses instead of Colliseums. I'm not sure where the story is going but it seems like Lucius changed history with his bathhouses.

Remember, if everyone bathe properly, the Roman empire would never fall. It's funny but not in a stupid way.
