Bathing culture was one of the pillars of Roman society and
bathhouses are one of the largest categories of a particular type
of construction excavated in the Roman world. The large number of
surviving remains and their regional variety make bathhouses vital
for the study of the local societies in the Roman-Byzantine period.
This book presents the archaeological evidence of close to 200
Roman-style bathhouses from the region of Iudaea/Syria-Palaestina
and Provincia Arabia, part of the provinces of the Roman East,
constructed from the reign of Herod the Great (second half of the
1st century BCE) to the end of the Umayyad rule (mid-8th century
CE). The bathing complexes of the Roman, Byzantine, and the Early
Islamic periods, ranging from large public thermae to small bathing
suites, are for the first time analysed as unified data with an
unprecedented amount of detail, considering a variety of parameters
- from dating and setting, through building techniques and
materials, to plans and decorations. Typologies of the bathhouses
and their components are supplemented by exploration of the
socio-cultural insight provided by this particular type of
construction. The historical narrative of the regional bathing
facilities is updated in the light of new information. The full raw
data used for the study is provided in the expandable open-access
online database.
