The Roman baths Slide2
Why did they use the baths. Roman people usually didn’t have hot baths in their houses, because it was too hard to heat the water. And people who lived in small apartments, often a whole family lived in one room, and so they didn’t have room for baths or any yard to exercise in. So instead they used to go to public baths.Slide3
Public meeting places.Public baths were something like our community centres today, or like a health club. They had swimming pools fed by aqueducts, and hot tubs, and exercise equipment, and often gardens and libraries and theaters as well.Some of them had temples, and like community centrers, you had to pay a small fee to get in, but they sometimes also had free days,.Slide4
