Roman Baths at Bath
Last updated on September 16, 2021Overview
Bathhouses were one of the most important social institutions of the Roman Empire. Here, citizens socialized and conducted business transactions – all while washing themselves.
One of the best-preserved bathhouses in the United Kingdom can be found in Bath in Somerset. The complex, known to the Romans as a thermae, was used extensively over the centuries during the Roman occupation of Britannia.
