The complex has been built as a piece of political propaganda for Emperor Caracalla because he wants you, the public, to like him. This landmark is likely to be remembered for hundreds of years to come. Unlike most baths, here all Romans are welcome to come and enjoy themselves in this impressive, exquisitely detailed building. It is told that these baths create a huge sense of unity, it truly is a brilliant building that Caracalla has created because of the pleasurable experience it offers.
