How many ancient rome public toilets were they?
The number of public toilets the Romans built around their vast empire is not known. It has been estimated that in 315 AD the city of Rome had 144 such toilets. Since most Roman houses had no baths or toilets, the Romans built public toilets and public baths. The baths had a communal character, acting as a place for socialising. The poor lived in the upper floors of the insulae (singular insula) which were apartment blocks six-seven floors high. They lived in small and overcrowded without running water, or cooking facilities. People only went there to sleep. They lived their lives outdoors, ate outdoors, and went to outdoors public toilets and the public baths. Roman toilets were communal and could be in rooms without partitions or outdoors. An outdoors toilet found at Ostia (Rome's port) has three walls and the fourth side was open. Along three walls there are benches with openings which rested on top of brickwork. The toilets had their sewage. They were flushed with running water. When possible they were built near the baths so that the water from the baths could be recycled to flush them.
Did the Romans have the best toilets in history?
Toilets in modern Rome are like all modern toilets. The modern flushing toilet with an S- bend was first patented by Alexander Cummings in 1775 and the first toilet with a U-bend was patented by Tomas Crapper in 1880. The toilets of ancient Rome were totally different. They were communal and could be in rooms without partitions or outdoors. An outdoors toilet found at Ostia (Rome's port) had three walls and the fourth side was open. Along three walls there are benches with openings which rested on top of brickwork.

Did Romans have toilets in their houses?
The Romans did not use the word "toilet" itself, as it is not a Latin word. However they had a word for toilet but the words depended upon what was meant by toilet. The proper meaning of the word toilet is a grooming procedure and the Latin for that is either "cultus" which mean care or tending, or the word "ornatus" which means dress or attire. What we, today, call toilet (a receptacle for a body's waste) was called either a "latrina" or a "fornica" by the Romans.

Are the roman baths and toilets in separate buildings?
No, but the baths all had latrines somewhere in the building. Roman toilets (latrinae) were outdoors and were communal. The Romans did not feel the need for privacy. A latrina found at Ostia had seats along three walls of a square shape. The fort side was open and all the seats were clearly visible. There were 15 seats. The latrinae in the baths were part of the vestibule .
