Toilet: THE OLDEST TOILET IN THE WORLD
  • Tip Rating:
  • This has to be the oldest toilet in the world. Men, and women used to come here to sh*t there hearts out hahahahahahaha, sorry, i mean they used to come here to go to the toilet, and these holes are exactly what you must be thinking they are for. Men, and women, used to spend hours here chating and socialising. Inside the holes there is a trench which is about 8 feet deep and used to be filled with water and the slaves would have to go down there and cleen it out hahahahahahaha, i bet that was a crappy job. In front of the toilets used to be a running trough of fresh water where the Romans used to wash themselves, this is a very interesting place. Oh and b,t,w, the smell has long since gone hehehehehehehe

    Toilet: Latriana Public Toilet
  • Tip Rating:
  • The latrina or public toilets was built in the first century AD. The toilet floor is paved with mosaics and in the middle of the floor it had a square pool. From the photos that I took you practically sitting next to each other, oh man you’ll smell each other business. During Roman time the Latrina or public toilet is where the rich Roman congregate to discuss business while doing their business and their business flushed by running water underneath. In winter they use their slaves to warm the toilet seat. I wonder if the slaves had to wash their bottom. I think these rich Roman are sick people, interesting don’t you think.

    The Latrina is a marble bench with several holes in it and a stream of water taking away,what-ever falls into the small holes... ...and people were sitting next to each other without any cabins... ...they could actually talk with plenty of people about lots of horses... I finally found some pics of the Latrina on one of my Super-8 films - that is why the scanning is not really top-quality

    Toilet: Public toilet
  • Tip Rating:
  • ok, ok :))) I know that together with ancient brothel, it's one of the most memorable experiences... Well here is the story of the picture: being tired of standard sites like theatres and libraries, I decided to diversify my picture collection by taking a photo of the ancient toilet. My friend said to me - Hey, why not take the pic with you as well? After certain hesitations, I finally made up my mind. I circled around the site round by round trying to spot the perfect position for the pic and then thought to myself, well, if I am in the toilet, the best pic would be me sitting on that very toilet. When I announced it to my friend, the reaction was more than positive, but at the same time (for more natural effect) I was forced to...... aha! to take my shorts off!! Uhhhh! My friend also advised me to make a face as if I was pushing hard..... but I only laughed hysterically, coz the site was open to the public and..... well you can imagine!

    Toilet: an old WC :-))
  • Tip Rating:
  • I just remembered the old toilet in Efesus, when I saw the fotos on the VT-page of Marianna (lalique). The toilet consists of a big bench with many holes in the stone and all people could sit next to each other in a long row and sh*t... very funny !

    Toilet: The Toilet
  • Tip Rating:
  • Not much privacy one was given in ancient times when one had to go to the toilet. The Latriana as it was known in ancient times were rows of holes in marble plates where the citizens of Ephesus were able to relieve themselves.

    Toilet: The latriana
    Another interesting feature was the latriana which were built in the first century. These are public toilets which were side by side with no partitions. The wealthy would use these toilets and do their business and talk about business and politics at the same. They used this as a sort if meeting place to talk. When first built, the floor was paved with mosaic and had ornate statues.
