The ancient Romans were extrava.
gsntly fond OF bathing. They got their
notions about the bath as a luxury
from the Greeks. and at one time there
were nearly 900 public bathing estab-

were the most beautiful and elaborate
structures in the world.
The baths OF the Emperor Diocletian
covered more than half square mile
and contained, besides immense basins
and thousands OF marble recesses, the
aters, temples. halls for feaating, prom
enades planted with trees. libraries,
schools for youth and academies for
the discussions of the learned. The
bathers sat on marble benches below
the surface of the water. around the
