Did the romans invent soap

Answer 1

No, they did not. The earliest toilets have been found in the island of Orkney in Scotland and at Mohejo-Daro, an archaeological site in Pakistan. They dated to around 2,800 BC. In the latter site, the toilets were built into the outer walls of houses. They were made of brick and had a wooden seat. The waste fell into street drains or cesspits though a vertical chute. They were used only by rich. Other people used open pits. Another people who who lived in Pakistan and in northwest India had primitive self-cleaning toilets which were flushed using the running water of the house which went into drains covered with clay bricks.

Toilets also appeared in Crete, Egypt and Persia in the 18th century BC.

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. It has been estimated that in 315 AD, the city of Rome had 144 public toilets.

No. It is said that soap was a German invention.
