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.

Where did Alexander cumming invent the flush toilet?
He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.
