Baths of Rome

Here is a website I found about ancient Rome:

In the webpage of ancient Rome, click another link of sanitation. The water that Romans used was originated from Anio valley, not Tiber river, and they were for public fountains and baths. Only the rich people in Roman could afford taking water with pipes into their houses. The rain water in Rome usually used for their household water, not for drinking. However, the poor Romans had to get their water from the public fountains, or by hiring an Aquarius, a contractor whose business was delivering water.

The public baths weren't only for poor people to clean theirselves, but also met their friends and socialized with other people. Moreover, it's a place to get an athletic workout, make their body healthy and warm.


Ehem!
