Bathing was central to Roman society. It was the pinnacle of sophisticated leisure and of cleanliness. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, even the most high-ranking people in European society were distinctly smell and grubby! It would be centuries before anything approaching the same level of technology and importance developed anywhere in Europe. Yet Roman baths and bathing culture influenced the spas and baths that grew out of the medieval period.

This book explores the importance of water and cleanliness to the Romans, as well as the role of the baths in Roman life and the engineering behind them. It also explains the fate of the baths since the decline of the Roman Empire. Finally we find out what the Roman traditions and constructions have left for us today and where we can go to find out more about the way of life and the unique and fascinating history of baths and bathing.
