Did Romans have toilets in their houses?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes they did. they weren't like today's though, The Romans had public rooms with up to 16 toilets side by side. The Romans weren't quite as shy going to the bathroom as we are, They sat by each other openly and did there business's. As for baths most homes didn't have them because of the cost. The majority of people went to a bathhouse.

Answer 4

The word "toilet" did not come into use till about the 1700s-- it is derived from the French language. Ancient Romans who were wealthy had an indoor facility for eliminating waste, but those who were not had to rely on public facilities-- these were called either latrinae or foricae. There was also a word for the bucket or chamber-pot sometimes used and then emptied into the Roman sewage system.
