Because wealthy Romans brought slaves to attend to their bathing needs, the bathhouse usually had three entrances: one for men, one for women, and one for slaves. Republican bathhouses often had separate bathing facilities for women and men, but by the 1st century AD mixed bathing was common and is a practice frequently referred to in Martial and Juvenal, as well as in Pliny and Quintilian. To many Roman moralists, baths illustrated how far the Rome of their own day had fallen into decline and so became a negative image; Cato the Elder publicly attacked Scipio Africanus for his use of the bathhouses. Roman bathhouses offered amenities in addition to the bathing ritual. While the baths were enjoyed by almost every Roman, there were those who criticized them. ^ Women In Roman Baths* Categories: Ancient Roman baths	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5502.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5502.txt
