    We're know we're doing something right regarding historical accuracy, when some people show interest in business #2...

    I believe I know what you all are talking about. I saw a show on the History Channel about the Romans, how they ate, lived, etc, and it included bathroom details. If I recall correctly, they did indeed have a sponge on a stick that they used to clean themselves. Every person had their own, and when they were finished with their business, they cleaned themselves, and then cleaned off the sponge-sticks in a canal filled with water running through the bathroom area.
