Les Romains utilisaient des latrines collectives et publiques annexées aux thermes, et des latrines privées. Les premières étaient des salles rectangulaires ou demi-circulaires entourées de banquettes de pierre ou de marbre, creuses et percées de lunettes, que séparaient des accoudoirs souvent en forme de dauphins; ces banquettes recouvraient le canal d'évacuation, où l'eau courait en permanence. Les latrines privées étaient plus petites, à une seule place ou à deux. 1, record 1, French, - latrines%20collectives
