Thermae were large bath complexes designed for public bathing and functioned like a community centre. The Romans would use their bathing time to conduct social activities, business, trade, or even settle lawsuits. As communal bathing was a major part of the Ancient Roman culture, it is no wonder that these public baths were very large compounds. The first thermae was built by Emperor Augustus, the 1st Emperor of the Roman Empire. Until the end of his reign, he commissioned the construction of the Baths of Agrippa, and 850 smaller baths, balneae.
