The Vatican Museum has a set of ceramic cylinders from ancient Rome that were long thought to be board pieces for a chess-like game.
They are not. They are in fact what the Romans used in place of toilet paper.
There is writing on some of them. Apparently the Romans liked to inscribe these with the names of people they did not like.

George: We discussed toilet paper.
Jerry: Toilet paper?
George: Yeah, I told her how toilet paper hasn’t changed in my lifetime, and probably wouldn’t change in the next fifty thousand years and she was fascinated, fascinated!
Jerry: What are you talking about?
Elaine: Yeah.
Jerry: Toilet paper’s changed.
Elaine: Yeah.
Jerry: It’s softer.
Elaine: Softer.
Jerry: More sheets per roll
Elaine: Sheets.
Jerry: Comes in a wide variety of colors.
Elaine: Colors.
George: Ok, ok, fine! It’s changed, it’s not really the point.
