minus-square@ace_garplink5•9 months agoThat a vomitorium is a room where Romans would go to vomit up their food and drink so they could gorge themselves some more. Not saying that this act never occurred, mind you. A vomitorium is a architectural feature that allows large numbers of people to disperse from a tunnel under the seats of a stadium.
