Welcome to the apodyterium (changing room) of the Ancient Baths Resource Site! Just like the Roman bather, from here a variety of facilities lie open to you. (Please note, however, that this site is still under construction, so that not everything is up and running.)

You can

Visit the Museum (gallery of images)
Get general information on ancient baths, both Greek and Roman
Explore a glossary of bath-related terms
Peruse an up-to-date bibliography relating to ancient baths and bathing culture
Review announcements or submit queries

Note to potential contributors: The features listed above are planned for the site, and contributors are weclome to e-mail me with suggestions for improvement and items for inclusion in any of the facilities listed above. Bibliographic items should be in ASCII format and images in JPEG or GIF. All images provided should be assumed to have copyright protection and may not be reused without express permission from the copyright owner. The caption for each image will include a link to the copyright owner, so that permissions can easily be requested.

Bear with us, we're still building.
