Fixed. Washroom and bathroom both translate to the same word.

Realizing your insignificance in the grand scheme of things shouldn’t be anxiety inducing, it should be freeing.

The history bit of my local city starts ...

"The capital of the Iceni tribe was a settlement located near to the village of Caistor St Edmund on the River Tas about 5 mi (8 km) to the south of modern Norwich.[10] After an uprising led by Boudica in about 60 CE, the Caistor area became the Roman capital of East Anglia named Venta Icenorum, literally "marketplace of the Iceni".[10] This fell into disuse about 450 CE."

71 CE here, Roman fort.
