Best Answer

The ancient Romans did have a sewer system, but it wasn't necessarily flushing. They simply had outhouses positioned over open sewer lines with running water in them. This effectively transported the waste away from the sewer, but I wouldn't call that flushing. 2800 years ago from this day, King Menos from Crete supposedly had a water closet that could flush.
