Were Roman baths unisex?


Were Roman baths unisex? Roman baths were not just a place to get clean. They were much more like the leisure centres we have today, and would have been places for eating, shopping and games too. Some of this was likely unisex, but the bathing aspect was usually segregated by gender.


Did children go to Roman bathhouses?
