(1) Regulatory Certitude in Londinium: The Power of the Building Inspector and Beachfront Evictions Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The show is temporarily halted due to occupancy issues at the wine bar. Gaius admits to a "completely unforgivable error": failing to give the building inspector an annual birthday raise. He notes that even far from Rome, the local inspector's "red ticket" carries enough weight to shut down their beachfront wine bar despite the Emperor Domitian's distance. The inspector cited concerns about running water, windows, and roof tiles, though Gaius suspects it was a move for more "generous gifts." He laments that his focus on a "robot" sent from Chinafor the orchestra caused him to neglect the inspector's welfare. The hosts plan a "great big party" with the help of centurions to scrub the facility and restore order for the following week's broadcast. (1)
