http://yoatomo.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/w-c-romano.jpgWhen you look at these two pictures you can see an ancient Roman toilet how is now ( above picture ) and , probably, how it was ( below picture ). If you analise the picture you know that Romans go to the toilet of public way, no like we go today. They didn't have walls or elements which hide their faces or their efforts. While they were shitting they spoke and related with their neighbors. Neither there was difference between senators or traders..everyone went to the same toilets. Besides, we have to think that we're talk about one of the cleanest cities of the history, even though ...tehy had their own restrictions. If the toilet was in a rich zone they had a sponge attached a stick which used to clean the ass.If not, you had to use your hands. When you finish you could clean your hands or the stick with the sponge in some rails with water ( you can see in the pictures ). Here you are the sponge :
