Roman latrines in the gymnasium complex at Ancient Salamis in north-eastern Cyprus. The structure is semi-circular and at the circumference (top left) you can see the arm rests of some of the individual toilets. Apparently these latrines had a capacity for 44 people (very cosy!). In the centre would have been a fountain and water from this would have been led into a small channel in front of the users and used to flush the waste into the outlet. Pretty sophisticated for the times!
For a description of the gymnasium see my earlier post here and for Salamis see here.

Nicely communal! 🙂
This is an interesting shot. It has that 70’s look I see in a lot of movies nowadays. Great composition as well!
Thanks. I’ve been messing around with some toning presets in Lightroom – they can really change the feel of an image.
