The Baths of Caracalla
If you want to win the hearts and minds of the Roman public, they don’t want a triumphal arch or yet another temple – what they want is a nice warm bath. The Severans built the city’s most opulent bath house for all Romans to enjoy, and bathe in the splendour of Caracalla. Guest: Dr Caillan Davenport (Roman History, Macquarie University)
