At the end of the third century

large public baths and 926 smaller
ones. The baths of Caracalla could
accommodate at one time l 800 people,
those of Diocletian. $500. Taking
1900 as the average of each of the
public baths, and so as that of each Of
the private baths, it appears that at
any minute bathing accommodations
we're possible for $4,000 people in
ancient Rome. Counting on a popu-
lation of 1000 900, the figure generally
given as the correct one, 1t would thus
seem that ample privileges were af-
