Just For You, C/L - Given Your Interest In The Subject.

Quote:TOP 10 TOILETS THROUGH TIME

Quote:1. Housesteads Roman Fort, Hadrian’s Wall: All together now…

The best preserved Roman loos in Britain are at Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall. At its height, the fort was garrisoned by 800 men, who would use the loo block you can still see today. There weren’t any cubicles, so men sat side by side, free to gossip on the events of the day. They didn’t have loo roll either, so many used a sponge on a stick, washed and shared by many people – lovely!


Enjoy.

Housesteads took me back about 25 years. We did a British youth hostel loop and saw among other things, many museum exhibits concerning the contents of ancient Roman poo. And yes we went to Housesteads. And yes we saw not only the latrines, but also the inevitable poo exhibit. Hadrian's Wall is a spectacular place to walk though, even if it does remind me of poor exhibits.

Ohhhh my word. Christmas came early this year.  Smile Smile Smile

Bahahaha. Love it! I'll put it on my bucket list to take a dump in any one of those. 

Thank you soooo much!

These were in Ephesos, (now Turkey) not Britain but the Romans never abandoned a good design.

A few moments before I took this shot as my wife reacted in typical middle class horror when our guide told the group they were sitting on Roman public toilets.

God: "What do you like best about all of my marvellous creation?"

CL: "Poop."

God: "Wow, and to think that was a last minute inclusion as well!"

Don't under estimate the power of poop. Poop brings people together! 

Lol, actually Min and I have had a couple exchanges via PM and are at an understanding. He's still anti religion in pretty much every sense of the word, but since I don't force my beliefs on others and since I'm not here trying to convert anyone, he tolerates me.  Wink

I haven't had the pleasure of a Min PM, but I'm sure he and I have the same understanding.  Wink

And yes, poop is the unstoppable force the binds us.
