Through the analysis of archaeological remains, ancient literature, inscriptions and papyri, the continued importance of bathhouses as social hubs within the urban fabric is demonstrated, thus radically altering common misconceptions of their decline through the rise of Christianity and elite seclusion. Persistent ideas about health and hygiene, as well as perpetuating ideas of civic self-esteem, drove people to build, restore and praise these focal points of daily life when other classical buildings were left to crumble.". 410 0$aLate antique archaeology.$pSupplementary series ;$vVolume 6. 606 $aBaths, Roman$zItaly 607 $aRome$xAntiquities 615 0$aBaths, Roman 676 $a613.410937 700 $aMare?chal$b Sadi$01552543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795010003321 996 $aPublic baths and bathing habits in late antiquity$93812511 997 $aUNINA
