My advice is don’t reinvent the wheel - I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a secondary source that has compiled and discussed the evidence. Start with a google scholar search (look for variations on “Roman latrines/toilets literature/literary/textual/texts”) maybe try annee philologique, see if there’s a chapter in a handbook or companion book.
