"However, gender separation was restored by Hadrian.[citation needed]"

Maybe not so much by Emperor Hadrian himself, although maybe that's what the author of that sentence means, but around the time of Emperor Hadrian.68.49.138.170 (talk)22:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article discusses the many facets of the bathhouses, which were largely recreational. But, it says little about personal hygiene at home, which I would expect since the article is not titled "Roman Baths", but "Ancient Roman Bathing". Didn't the Romans cover themselves with oil to scrape themselves clean? What about sponge baths? They had sponges. I'm sure of it.68.49.138.170 (talk)22:40, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new to this, so I beg your pardon if I should do this differently.

I found a couple of valid links:http://npshistory.com/publications/hosp/out-of-the-vapors.pdfORhttps://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951p00953238a&view=1up&seq=3

I didn't want to just edit the page as I don't know which link to use.

Many classical sources discuss some of the processes of Roman bathing, so it would be great to add in some of these authors to the article. It would be good to add a section with some of these (Martial, Pliny the Younger, etc)— Precedingunsigned comment added byRPompeiiArchaeology (talk •contribs)22:10, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would be great to have a section that talks about the influence of Roman bathing practices on the broader empire. Much of the article is focused on the Italian peninsula, but baths were important throughout the empire and had different impacts on different areas.— Precedingunsigned comment added byRPompeiiArchaeology (talk •contribs)22:34, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
