Bathing played a major part in ancient society. It was one of the most common daily activities in Roman culture and was practiced across a wide variety of social classes. The hammams (or Islamic bath-houses), commonly known as 'Turkish baths', are one of the key urban facilities in Islamic cities. Public baths pre-date Rome and Islam and can be found in the 2nd millennium BC in places like ancient Pakistan and Minoan Crete.
