Did they washed their hands after toilet?

[D B Campbell]

Can I have one question? It is about using sponges in the army: Is it true that soldiers have obtained only one stick with a sponge for the contubernium?

The paleobotanical analysis of the sewage deposit from the latrine of the Bearsden fort discovered the presence (amongst other things) of moss, which the excavator interpreted as a local substitute for the sponge. Much more hygenic, because it's disposable!
