		In ancient Rome, wealthy citizens would have had bathing facilities in their own homes, but there were also public baths; balnea were built and run by individuals for their own profit, and thermae, great baths built for the public by wealthy citizens, or by emperors, were either free or extremely cheap.

	Roman Baths
		The universal acceptance of bathing as a central event in daily life belongs to the Roman world and it is hardly an exaggeration to say that at the height of the empire, the baths embodied the ideal Roman way of urban life.
		Although wealthy Romans might set up a bath in their town houses or especially in their country villas, heating a series of rooms or even a separate building especially for this purpose, even they often frequented the numerous public bathhouses in the cities and towns throughout the empire.
		Republican bathhouses often had separate bathing facilities for women and men, but by the empire the custom was to open the bathhouses to women during the early part of the day and reserve it for men from 2:00 pm until closing time (usually sundown, though we occasionally hear of a bath being used at night).
