When rebuilding a day of Ancient Rome, it is necessary to reserve part of it for the care of the body and the social relationships that were maintained in the Baths. During the empire the emperors, to keep the Roman citizens distracted and satisfied, built imposing and monumental public baths, turning the thermal baths into the nerve center of the social life of all social classes. Thus, the thermal baths were a building dedicated to bathing, sports and body care, but also a place to walk, meet and study. One of the best examples of public baths is the Baths of Caracala, which thanks to its size became one of the largest monumental complexes of ancient Rome, as well as one of the most suggestive. The Emperor Septimius Severus was the creator of the Baths of Caracala, which began to be built under his command, although the building was completed in 216 AD, during the reign of his son Marco Aurelio Antonino Bassiano, known like Caracala. The hot springs could hold up to 6,000 or 8,000 people and housed a large number of works of art, many of which are still visible.
