Ancient Paths

Baths

 
Everyone has heard of Roman baths, but how much do you really know about them?  Did people really take baths here?

Why did Romans build these large establishments? How did a Roman bath function? Did anybody else build them or something like them?

See if you can find what a frigidarium is.

Did baths persist into the Middle Ages?  We don't have them around now, so when did they disappear, and why?

See if you can find out what leeches would have to do with baths.
