373: Vomitorium Dec 16, 2015

For people who have heard the word 'vomitorium', it is thought of as a place where the ancient Romans are supposed to have vomited during feasts to make room for more food. This is a common misconception based on the connection to 'vomit'. A 'vomitorium' is in fact an exit, or one of a series of exits in an ancient Roman amphitheater or theater.
