II.7.11 Pompeii. Palaestra. December 2006. Entrance to latrine building.
According to Nappo, “Water flowed continuously into the [central palestra] pool, and the overflow ran into a small drain, which flushed out the large latrine in the eastern section of the southern portico.
The latrine, entered through a small door under the portico, had seats of trachytic lava, probably covered with marble, on three sides.
Since it also had a door opening to the outside of the palaestra, opposite the arena, it may be ascertained that, at one time, the latrine was used when games were being held at the amphitheatre.”
See Nappo, S., 1998. Pompeii: Guide to the ancient city. London: Weidenfeld and Nicholson, p. 36-7.
Behind it on the plan is a long tapered walled enclosure.
