It shows how opulent the Roman Empire was to create these structures for their soldiers, instead of making them bathe in a river or a pond. I believe the structures would be used for bathing since the soldiers can get quite dirty in a days work.I think the Roman Empire demonstrates how important their soldiers were by creating these baths for them.Amber Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121458682016210481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294795272003278140.post-38026496035240420932010-12-05T18:45:34.557-08:002010-12-05T18:45:34.557-08:00I find it very interesting that people at that tim...I find it very interesting that people at that time period would have used pools for their enjoyment. It seems that the pools created during this time period may have been way ahead of their time. Also, I think it is cool that people from the ancient time period of Rome used the same thing we did hundreds of years before us.Hayden Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036246506182708697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294795272003278140.post-58726236685740920262010-12-05T17:30:59.941-08:002010-12-05T17:30:59.941-08:00It is fascinating to think, people about a thousan...It is fascinating to think, people about a thousand years before us, were really not that different from us in the way of leisure time. It is also crazy to think that even with their limited technology (in comparison to us), pools were still available to the masses. It would be rather interesting to see if they had pluming in these pools to provide running water to supply the pools with fresh water, or if they just channeled the water from the aqueducts into the pool. Also, one cant help but wonder, how they keep it sanitary and clean, or if they just left the filth in the pool as is. It is not only a testoment to the size of the city, but to the engineering capabilities of the Romans as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190110630895068522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294795272003278140.post-87899554380429643342010-12-05T16:26:45.604-08:002010-12-05T16:26:45.604-08:00Thats pretty interesting!

The Romans really seemed to make themselves at the newly taken-over Jerusalem.Taylor McDougallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756215669101027442noreply@blogger.com
