ancient toilets

there is only one decapolis city west of the Jordan river whose remains we have found and unearthed - the magnificent Scythopolis. You come over the hill at tel Bet She'an and it's right below you and suddenly it looks like you're in Rome.

my favorite thing about this city are the perfectly preserved toilets. And my favorite thing about the toilets is my toilet story: really wealthy men in the city lived up on the hill in houses. In the morning it was quite cold and the exposed stone where you would sit to do your business would be very chilly to touch. So men would have their slaves go and sit on the stones in order to warm them to prepare for their arrival. Best slave job ever.
