pictograms isn't that hard to figure out is it? it even commented that the picture show "something" happen with butt. Besides for all see know those might not be buttons but touch sensitive pads which isn't unusual in Japan.
Hate to say this, but their public restrooms (in building, not park) are extremely nice and touch or sensor type button isn't unusual.
As for Lucious's admiration, it only natural that when face with technologically more advanced nation not to mention we are talking about a nation that is almost 2000 years in future.
As for the anime making everything sound like th roman copied everything, it only applied if those advances Lucius brought back were indeed found in ancient Roman Empire. So far, none of the stuff in the shows I knew are anything originated from Romans.
Besides, the mangaka that created this, Mari Yamazaki, is married to an Italian, a grandson to a pottery master and herself is from a musical family with both of her parents performing in Orchestra and has lived and traveled there frequently since she was a kid and her manga works were all having to deal with Italian cultures, so I doubt this series is about national elitism.
Also in the original manga, between every chapters there are detailed explanation on the difference of the bathing culture between the two, as well as the trips she took or times spend over in Europe.
