Romans would actually cover themselves with olive oil and scrape it off, cleansing themselves, then they would enter the baths.
Yes. Romans were the first empire to really care about hygeine and health. They created sewers, latrines (the first toilets), the Roman baths (public cheap baths which everyone could afford to go to), and the aqueducts, which provided up to 80 gallons of fresh water for every one in the city each day.
You have not specified A key health facility was the public baths, where you could wash, swim, do exercises and have massages and, in the bigger baths go to a library listen to poetry readings and participate in debates. This range of facilities reflected the Roman belief that good health consisted in eating, cleanliness, massage, exercise and intellectual pursuits. This was exemplified in the expression 'mens sana in corpore sano' a healthy mind in a healthy body. The Romans built public baths (thermae) wherever they went. The public baths were Another key public health facility were the public toilets.They were communal and could be in rooms without partitions or outdoors. An outdoors toilet found at Ostia (Rome's port) has three walls and the fourth side was open. Along three walls there are benches with openings which rested on top of brickwork. The toilets had their sewage. They were flushed with running water. When possible they were built near the baths so that the water from the baths could be recycled to flush them. It has been estimated that in 315 AD, the city of Rome had 144 public toilets. Baths and toilets were of particular importance because most Roman houses had no baths or toilets. The poor who lived in the upper floors of tenements which had only had small and overcrowded rooms, and no running water, or cooking facilities. People went there only to sleep. The poor lived their lives outdoors, ate outdoors, and went to the public baths to wash and to outdoors public toilets. The aqueducts brought clean water from the mountains. Other public health measures were the building of sewers and draining swaps and marshes
For a short answer- they were not. Here is a more detailed explanation why. The Romans were not unclean because they built some of the first sewers and they often visited the public baths. The Romans were among the first people to frequently wash. Their bathhouses were a place where anyone could go- even slaves- and it was free. They used sewage systems to remove waste from their cities. Some of their sewers were so good that they are still in use today.
It is not clear what exactly mean by keep the Roman Empire. With regard to sanitation, most buildings in the city of Rome were not very helpful for public health. The insulae were apartment blocks six-seven floors high where most Romans lived. The top floors were the dwellings of the poor. They had overcrowded rooms and no cooking facilities or running water. Therefore, the poor went there only to sleep. They ate outdoors went to the public toilets and the the public baths. Yet, the Romans were concerned about public health. The Romans believed in good health.

This was exemplified in the expression 'mens sana in corpore sano' a healthy mind in a healthy body. The Romans built public baths (thermae) wherever they went. Like the baths, other Roman public health measures were aimed at improving cleanliness which was considered key to good health, such as building sewers, building public toilets, draining swaps and marshes, and providing clean water by building aqueducts These were also standard practice which the Romans applied everywhere they went. Buildings which helped with administration were the basilicae (singular basilica). These were public buildings which hosted public administration offices, the courts and other public amenities. The forts were structures where the legions were garrisoned and helped to maintain military control, and public order or to guard the frontiers

The Romans did not have general hospitals. People went to doctors were private practitioners. They did, however, have buildings (valetudinarian) for the care of sick slaves, gladiators, and soldiers from around 100 B.C. When Christianity became an accepted religion in the Roman Empire, hospitals were built. The First Ecumenical Council in 325 A.D called for the building of a hospital in every cathedral town. A hospital in present day Turkey had housing for doctors and nurses and separate buildings for various types of patients. Some hospitals provided training and had libraries
