Illustration of a Roman latrine. Roman latrines had two purposes, of course - relieving oneself, and social networking! (lemmy.world)

Kind of surprised the walls are blank. Expect paintings and/or graffiti.

Depends on how nice the place is. Some were plain and utilitarian, others had marble decor, mosaics, and even fountains (though I sadly can't find any good photos of remains of those).
