HERITAGE PILLS. Baetulo’s ointments

Esther Espejo, technician of the Museum of Badalona, invites us to take a look at the collection of ointments from the permanent exhibition of the Roman Baetulo. A common object in Roman homes, our ancestors used unguentarium in two of the most important rituals of their daily lives: the ritual of body worship, as hygiene and physical health, and the ritual of funeral worship, as a sample of respect for the dead.
