Israeli archaeologists have found a rare ancient toilet in Jerusalem dating back more than 2,700 years, when private baths were a luxury in the holy city, authorities said.

The Israeli Antiquities Authority said the polished and carved limestone toilet was found in a rectangular cabin that was part of a spacious mansion overlooking what is now the Old Town. It was designed for comfortable landing, with a deep septic tank dug down.

“A private toilet cubicle was very rare in antiquity, and only a few have been found to date,” said Yaakov Billig, director of excavation.

“Only the rich could have such toilets,” he said, adding that one celebrity once suggested that being rich means “having a toilet at the table.”

Animal bones and pottery found in the septic tank can shed light on the lifestyle and diet of the people living at the time, as well as ancient diseases.

Archaeologists found capitals and stone columns of the time, and said there was evidence of a nearby garden with orchards and aquatic plants – more evidence that those living there were quite wealthy.
