About Baths at Ostia
📍 ☀️ Clear 16°C now
Excavations at Ostia Antica have brought to light 26 bath complexes in the town. These range from large public baths, such as the Forum Baths, to smaller, often private ones, such as the small baths (Regio I, XIX, 5). Baths in Ostia, like elsewhere in the Roman world, would have served both a hygienic and a social function. Bath construction increased after an aqueduct was built to Ostia in the early Julio-Claudian Period. Many of the baths follow simple linear arrangements, with one room following the next, due to the density of buildings in Ostia.
