VII.12.34 Pompeii. December 2005. Looking east across bar-room. On the right at the rear was the doorway to the triclinium, on the rear left was a corridor leading to the latrine. On the extreme left, is a doorway linking to VII.12.35. According to Hobson, the siting of latrines is most often “off a narrow corridor”. In both VII.12.34 and 35, there would have been a great deal of privacy. See Hobson, B., 2009. Latrinae et foricae: Toilets in the Roman World. London; Duckworth, (p.168)
