Latrine near the Forum Baths
This marble-seated latrine (2nd–3rd cc.) served as a public restroom. Beneath the bench, flowing water carried waste away, while a shallow gutter in front allowed for sponge cleaning. Designed for hygiene and sociability, Roman latrines reveal the pragmatic engineering and communal norms of daily urban life in the empire.
