20060326n_S_SabrathaLatrines
Sarah continues her world tour of Roman toilets (see this one from 2005). These latrines were located near the seaward public baths. They originally had running water to carry away wastes, and the little trough at Sarah's feet was used to rinse the personal cleansing brushes that people carried with them. Notice the huge number of columns in the background.
