Geocache Description:


A FULLO was a Roman fuller or cloth-launderer.

 

The ancient Romans used ammonia (derived from urine) and fuller’s earth to launder their woolen togas.  Fullonicae were very prominent industrial facilities, with at least one in every town of any notability, and frequently the largest employer in a district. 

 

These laundries obtained urine from farm animals, or from special pots situated at public latrines. Camel urine, considered very effective and hence valuable, was imported.

 

Human urine for industrial use was considered a public utility like water so the government taxed the collection of urine.
