About this listen

In this episode of Soothing History for Sleep, we travel back to the bustling streets of ancient cities to uncover the overlooked lives of street cleaners. These workers labored in silence, clearing filth, waste, and the grime of daily life, keeping the great civilizations of Rome, Athens, and beyond from collapsing under their own weight. Their stories reveal the unglamorous but essential roles that shaped public health, urban order, and survival in the ancient world. Told in a calm and steady voice, this episode is designed to help you drift into rest while exploring the forgotten corners of history.
