The Baths of Diocletian are renowned as the largest of the public baths in Roma, capable of holding thousands of guests at a time. They are a truly magnificent structure, rising tall above the surrounding buildings and constantly fed by the Aqua Marcia. The main atrium of the bathhouse is always lit by the sunbeams light shining through the high-up lattice windows, and the vaulted ceilings are decorated with bright red and blue frescoes that lend a sense of joviality to the place. It is very much a location for social gatherings so much as it is one for bathing, and it is not uncommon to see groups of men and women gathered in their respective halves of the baths engaging in heavy and light conversations alike. The highlight of these baths is the massive frigidarium, which not only provides a space to bathe in cold water, but one for social occasions. The walls are decorated with colossal statues of mythological heroes and lined with intimate niches that allow for more private discussions, creating an elegant but soothing atmosphere for all who visit. What truly sets these baths apart, however, is the presence of two attached libraries housing many a valuable scroll, which makes it a frequent sight to see scholars attending these baths in particular, blending work and leisure seamlessly.
