8 Rare Trades that you can't imagine that they existed
1.Funeral clowns
Possibly one of the funniest (or tragic, trades, as you look) is the funeral clown in Ancient Rome. This curious job was not to make the dead laugh, but among their specifications the clown had to wear a clay mask of the deceased and dance making bad jokes.The purpose was not to laugh at the dead but to turn angry spirits from beyond into sympathetic entities that would have a great time at the party.This profession was so respectful that funeral clowns were even hired to perform at the funerals of the emperors.
2.Orgies planner
Today we have wedding planners and in ancient Rome they had orgies planners. In fact, the two trades are not so different, since the two consist of planning a joyful event and with many people.The most successful orgies planners organized both music and food, guests and other things that we are not going to specify but what can you imagine.Now the question to ask is: Did they let you attend the party or did you have to worry that everything went well?
3.Alarm
No, We are not talking about the clock but about a much earlier time where there was no electricity.In those times there was this strange and fun trade, similar to the serene one that used to travel the streets of the neighborhood to open the door if you left your keys, The alarm clock was a man who called himself at the window of the inhabitants of the houses that had hired their services to wake them up at the time they wanted .The cutting-edge technology of the time allowed the alarm to reach the highest windows with a long stick.
4.Writer of curses
Formerly curses were the order of the day.How can you imagine were superstitions that consisted of more than just consulting your horoscope in the newspaper. The curses were written on special tablets that were nailed to the temple walls. In addition to the tablet, customers needed someone to write the curse.You can imagine how pleasant it should be to write the complaints of your clients all the holy day.
5.Dog whisk
In the middle ages the church had a lot of power and, perhaps that is why she was the queen of the rare trades. One of the official workplaces of the church was precisely to whip dogs. No, in the bible she doesn't put anything on hitting innocent puppies (or so we suppose), but at the time the hordes of wild dogs that pocketed at the gates were not rare e the churches in search of food.As they could have some malice and bite the parishioners in the ass the church devised this “useful” office.
6.Toad doctor
This job was not to be the doctor of the toads, like who is a veterinarian, but to use the toads to cure people. As you can imagine they are related to witchcraft, but not in the way more expected, since it was believed that the toads could cure the curses of the witches.Sometimes, the doctor used parts of the poor toads (like the legs) to cure supposed diseases.Poor critters!
7.Gym cleaner
One of the most requested positions in ancient Greece and reserved for the nobility was the of gym cleaner. We're not kidding.In Greece, athletes were considered very high and, therefore, cleaning their crap was considered a work of the gods.It may not seem like much compared to the rest.of rare trades of which we have spoken, but you may change your mind when you know that before people did not wash themselves with water and soap but with oil and a spatula.
8.Bathroom boss
Unfortunately, being a bath butler was not about cleaning your masters in the bathtub.No, it was a bit more unpleasant. The bath butler may be the king of the rare trades , since its main function was to clean the king's culete after he made his needs, although it may be horrifying for us, in that s times to be a bath butler was a very precious position and reserved for the sons (men) of the nobles since it guaranteed them the king's total attention while he was venting.
Surely you don't you imagined that these rare trades would come into existence, right? Tell us, what would you prefer, to be a bathroom butler or gym cleaner?
