What is the function of the bath and theatres
as we have already discovered, the Romans use their towns as a way of proving that other people should be like them. One way to do this was through entertainment. The Roman baths were a very important part of this: it was a lot like a spa day, with different types of treatments available, and you would often go with friends.
• The theatre was also a way of getting people to like them. A semi-circular building, people could go see plays and curiosities from all over the empir
The military presence 
• Barracks and Defences: as well as these fun things though, the Romans could still fall back on the military.
