    Thank you for your answer. Here, page 57-58, it mentions people throwing their waste onto the street at night in Ancient Rome. There’s even legal advice from the time relating to being hit by waste.

      yeah its a cool twist kinda. people thinking of ancient rome as the pinecal of culture and the medival holy roman empire as the dark ages of humanity. yet the poop throwing myth goes into the ancient time.

      Gonna be honest all my focus went into 10th-15th century, so i have little knowledge about juvenal and such ^^
