How would it have been to go to the baths on a nice day in Rome of the year 520AD, so 44 years after the date, which is in schoolbooks generally referred to as the "Fall" of the Roman Empire? How would that experience have been, and how would it have differed from the bathing experience during the times of the empire? Were the great baths of Rome even still functioning, or were they already beyond repair and had started to fall into ruin? Were the baths already overgrown with greenery and the waterpools empty, barren, and desolate? Or were they still frequented by the Romans and still a hub of bustling activity? Well, dear friends of Roman history, let's imagine how it must have been to go to the baths in Rome after the Fall.
