Regio I - Insula XVII - Fullonica delle Terme del Mitra (I,XVII,2)
(Fullery of the Baths of Mithras)

This tiny fulling establishment was installed in the underground service area of the Baths of Mithras. It consists of two rooms with a few basins and benches.

In the south-east corner of the building is a public urinal with seven holes in the floor. The urine was led through a lead pipe to the north-east part of the underground area, where it was collected in a vessel and used in the workshop.
