The republican latrines were located in the southeast corner of the baths. Square in plan (234 x 221 cm) they are made up of toilets, drainage channel, clean water gutter, "opus spicatum" and entrance threshold. The set makes up a set that represents the prototype of a Roman latrine, in which a part of the elements that make it up are original and are preserved "in situ". The toilet itself consisted of a line of benches with perforated seats, under which ran a deep channel for dragging fecal water. Both elements have been reproduced since they disappeared in the excavation process. Right in front of the toilets, at their feet, there was a gutter for clean water. The quadrangular floor formed by the toilets lacked decoration or exempt elements. The entrance to the latrines was through a limestone threshold. This ashlar found in its original position is rectangular in shape.
