Best Answer

No, they were social sources rather than entertainment facilities. One could exercise or participate in one-on-one sports, if you considered that entertainment. The baths were primarily for getting clean. Other services were provided, such as massage, hairdressing and barber services, libraries, sports exercise facilities. The baths were an excellent place to catch up on all the news and gossip. There were never any pure entertainments, such as theater, poetry readings, races, or mime shows conducted in the baths.
