    Explanation: In Ancient Rome, privacy was… not a major concern. Even public restrooms lacked dividers, and it was considered unremarkable to start up a chat on the public shitter, play a quick game of tic-tac-toe with the neighbor, and generally have your ‘struggle’ under the eyes of other people!

    … even so, one must imagine those two corner seats as undesirable even by Roman standards!

        I’ve always wondered what effect that had on gut bacteria. Like we know that transplanting poop between farm animals helps when moving them to different environments, pretty sure it works on people too. Don’t think we’ll ever know, but it’s interesting.

          Well every so often something was likely wiggling around on it.

        It was kept in a bucket of vinegar. I’m sure that it was completely fine.
