No One Cleaned The Streets
Today we’re so used to always having clean and maintained streets, but back in these days, there was nobody to do this job. Because of this, streets were often covered in human and animal feces, urine, dead animals, and rotting food. Imagine the combination of all of these horrible smells. No thanks.
Useless Sewers
Some cities did have a working sewer system, but they weren’t covered like most are today, they were open. This meant that people usually threw their stuff into the sewer. While this is better than into the street, it’s still not ideal.
