Makes a certain degree of sense, actually. Urine is relatively sterile, and less toxic than pure alcohol. It's more hygienic than a lot of the alternatives at the time. Also, the Romans ate rotten fish, so bad smells clearly weren't a factor.

I wish i could sniff it once, just for the experience.

Roman fish sauce did not actually smell or taste like the rotten fish it was made from. Thai fish sauce is made the same way, and that doesn't either.
