Ancient Non-Biblical Toilets, Greek
|
This is an overview and detail of the toilets at the Asclepion, on the island of Kos, in the south-eastern Aegean. Part of the Dodacanese chain, Kos was the home of Hippocrates (460-370 BC). A large medical school (at which Hippocrates taught) was located at the temple to the healing god Asclepius. Patients would come here to seek treatment, or to make offerings of thanksgiving after recuperation. |
|
The Asclepion was in use until 540 AD, so with 940 years of sick people these saw a lot of use.... |
Also see the New Testament toilets for more Greek examples from that time period.
