Salve<br>
The Romans prided themselves on cleanliness. Their toilet facilities in the cities were a tribute to their level of technology. Whenever they could, they had running water, and part of that running water was used in sewage control.<br>
Marketplaces would have had peculiar odors, different on each day depending on what was being sold, and the combined odors for the day. If the leather merchant was boiling up a new batch of leather, and the soap maker was brewing up a new batch also, the smells would have been quite intense, not to mention toxic.<br>
However, the odors created artificial means like candles and other burning scented device, could kill a dog.<br>
