The Romans are well known for taking care of their mind, body and spirit, and spa centres or thermae were built for people to bathe, relax and discuss the latest philosophy, and arts. The spa centres had several rooms that were specifically used as saunas, libraries and stadiums.
It is fact that every Roman emperor was known to build his own thermae, and the well-known Diocletian bath known to accommodate 6,000 bathers at one time, furthermore Roman legionnaires were believed to have benefited from water treatments, these soldiers recovered quickly after dipping into hot springs, and all wounds and aches were relieved from pain.
Spa centres waned after the fall of the Roman Empire, but the Renaissance period gave rise to spa town such as Spa in Belgium, Baden-Badenin Germany and Bath in the UK, since these towns were near natural thermal waters the healing power of water was re-discovered, thus saunas and steam baths became popular again.
