I recommend watching the Yale lectures series "Roman Architecture" by Professor Kleiner. The entire course is online on YouTube in a series of fascinating lectures. Professor Kleiner is one of those teachers whose own enthusiasm and love for Roman history brings everything she talks about to life.

I can say, without a doubt, that I would have absolutely hated Roman toilets! lol
It would be bad enough sharing the toilet area with the opposite sex...but the sponge really clinches it.
