Bathing In The Roman World

Guiding the reader through the customs rituals and activities associated with public bathing Yegul traces the origins and development of baths and bathing customs and analyzes the sophisticated technology and architecture of bath complexes which were among the most imposing of all Roman building types. He also examines the reception of bathing throughout the classical world and the transformation of bathing culture across three continents in Byzantine and Christian societies. The volume concludes with an epilogue on bathing and cleanliness in post-classical Europe revealing the changes and continuities in culture that have made public bathing a viable phenomenon even in
the modern era. Richly illustrated and written in an accessible manner this book is geared to undergraduates for use in courses on Roman architecture archaeology civilization and social and cultural history.
