A fun fact about the Roman Empire is that they used a sponge on a stick, called a «xylospongium,» instead of toilet paper. This sponge was mounted on the end of a long stick and shared among people in public toilets. It was rinsed in a bucket of saltwater after each use. This practice was widespread across the empire, showcasing their ingenuity in addressing everyday needs even in ancient times.
