There were many thing people could do at Roman baths, but here are three. First, they got clean, second, they could get a massage, and third they could catch up on the latest news or even contract a business deal.
Roman baths did not, as the question implies make things "worse". Ancient Roman baths were built first in Rome and later became a part of all large Roman cities and in cities Rome conquered that were deemed large enough to have them. Wealthy Romans often had their own private baths. Many Roman cities and conquered ones had indoor plumbing fed by waters carried in from Roman built aqueducts. Public baths were in a sense part of Roman genius and part of Roman culture. Some of the baths were fed by natural spring waters. The baths in some places were so sophisticated that they were heated. The baths were ideal for Roman citizens who could not afford private ones. The baths served not only as a place to keep clean, but were also recreational and a place for people to gather and meet.
If you referring to the Roman public baths, the small ones could have a few hundred people and the large ones could have several thousands. It you are referring the the bathtubs, which only the rich had (everybody else had to go to the public baths), only one person could fit in it.
OK, Roman baths were big because most of them were public baths, meaning that if there was a public bath site somewhere everyone could just go and take a bath there and lots of people went so they had to be pretty big.
All the classes used the Roman baths, rich, poor, male and female.

The Roman bath was a place of business, pleasure, washing, and games. The typical bath was several rooms with different kinds of baths about the size of the swimming pools. Some were cold water baths while others were heated by furnaces under the flooring. There were also steam rooms. The Romans took bathing to the highest levels. Men would come to baths daily conduct business, play dice/gambling games/strategy games ( I have played one of the Roman games and it is fun) as well visit the "ladies" who were there for business. The baths were an active part of life for the Romans.
yes we do!!(:
Pros and Cons of Ancient Roman Baths: Roman baths were created by Emperors because they had a duty to provide entertainment for their people, baths were great because they were very social then. It wasnt just baths there were also dressing rooms, gymnasiums, restaurants, bars, and shady walks. Guests could also atten plays, witness athletic contest, listen to public lectures, read in one of the libraries or stroll in the galleries. Cons of having Roman baths....possibly dirty? Well..I dont really see any cons.
All the baths had to be paid for. It was a small amount but they still did have a charge.Roman baths were not free, but they were cheap enough so that even the poorest people could afford to go to the bath at least once a week. For the more wealthy it was usually every day.
