What they used was a sponge tied on the end of a stick. Go to Ostia Antica's latrine http://arts-sciences.cua.edu/gl/images/safran_slides/roman_art/November_2/= OstiaForicaBaths.jpg [IIRC] That was the entrance door based on a worn groove made in the marble doorjam. The exit door was to the left on the otherside of that brick pier. Inside between these 2 doors was a large stone basin. It was filled with brine (salt water), inside this basin were the stick-sponges (sponge side down and the handle sticking out). |
