Introduction to Roman Baths

Roman baths were an essential part of daily life in ancient Rome. They were not only places for bathing but also social hubs where people gathered to relax, exercise, and discuss politics and business. The baths varied in size and complexity, from small private baths in wealthy homes to large public bath complexes that could accommodate thousands of visitors.

The most famous Roman baths include the Baths of Caracalla and the Baths of Diocletian. These baths featured heated pools, cold plunge pools, saunas, and exercise areas. They were equipped with sophisticated engineering, including hypocaust heating systems to warm the water and floors.

Visiting the baths was a routine activity for many Romans, often taking place in the late morning or early afternoon. The experience typically involved a sequence of activities, including bathing, exercising, and socialising.
