Here's a fun fact about the Roman Empire: The ancient Romans were avid bathers.

Public
baths, known as "thermae," were an integral part of Roman culture. The Baths of Diocletian,
one of the largest public baths in Rome, could accommodate over 3,000 people at once.
Bathing was not just about cleanliness for the Romans; it was also a social and recreational
activity. The bathhouses were places for relaxation, exercise, and socializing, reflecting the
importance of communal life in Roman society.
