Latrina del Foro

Regio VII   Insula 7.28
MAP

Just beyond an area in which archaeological material is stored, we can see a room that led into the public toilets, an indispensable facility in a particularly busy town square.

Built in the town s final years, the lavatory is provided with a drain running around three of the walls above which wooden or stone seats were fitted. As was customary for the time, the toilets were set one next to another, not in individual cubicles.
