Ancient Toilet Still in Use Today

An Ancient Roman toilet has been restored in Tralleis, Aydin. The latrina, which was one of the biggest toilets ever recovered from digging, served as the primary bathroom for which Byzantine ceramic workshop workers could go to do their business. The sad part of the story is that parts of the modern city today still do not have access to sewage at all. The governor says that he hopes that this will serve as an example of inspiration for the donations to start coming in for the building of modern day sewage systems. The archeologists also recovered 67 pieces of Byzantium gold which are now on display. Digging will continue later this year.
