    Hiking

    The Roman Latrine of Ephesus was built in the 1st century AD as part of what would become the Baths of Scholastica. They were the city's public toilets for poor citizens who could not afford a toilet at home, and an entrance fee was charged. However, the latrines were not used exclusively for relieving oneself. In Roman culture, this building served the same social purpose as the baths. Citizens would stay in the latrines for long periods of time to relax and discuss their daily worries.
