Did they washed their hands after toilet?
#15
Radka, Each toilet had its own sponge, that's true. But that is as most of the toilet's are used on the same time, every 'place' need one. As the toilets were of general use, you shared the sponge stick.

I don't know any references to the use of sponges in the army, but as we take the 'civilian' situation into account, the centurio (and his family) probably could have their own, but I wouldn't say that because of the level of hygiene of the Romans, the higher offices had their own, as that's simple not true, if we look at the high status roman civilians.
