In Bathing in the Roman World, Fikret Yegul examines the social and
cultural aspects of one of the key Roman institutions. 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.
