Let\u2019s begin! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathing Culture in\nAncient Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bathing <\/strong>was one of the most common and essential part of the ancient Roman culture<\/strong>. Practiced across a wide variety of social classes, bathing was one of the most common daily activities in Roman culture<\/strong>. As it played an important role in daily life, there were 952 documented baths<\/strong> of varying sizes in Rome <\/strong>at 354 AD!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many contemporary cultures see bathing as a very private <\/strong>activity, mostly conducted in the home, bathing in Rome was a communal <\/strong>activity! Though the members of the extremely wealthy class could afford bathing facilities in their homes, commoners bathed in the communal baths. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sarayl\u0131<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Romans raised bathing to a high art<\/strong> as they socialized, conducted courtship, and even sealed\nbusiness deals in these communal baths! In some ways, baths in ancient Rome\nresembled modern-day spas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Turkish Towels are\nthe Perfect Match for Roman Baths?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roman culture<\/strong> is not the only one where bathing is a communal activity! Bathing was also a communal activity in Ottoman Empire<\/strong>. And peshtemal<\/strong>, also known as hammam towel<\/strong>, was an irreplaceable part of the Anatolian hammam culture<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, Anatolian people started using peshtemal in hammams<\/strong>. However, over time, they decided to use the Turkish towels<\/strong> in other fields as it is really comfortable and practical to use. Housewives used peshtemal <\/strong>as aprons. Field workers, and craftsmen used them as aprons as well. Garnished peshtemal<\/strong> were used by the rich families & the royal family of Ottoman Empire<\/strong> as a symbol of wealth<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, hammam towels<\/strong> became an irreplaceable part of the daily lives of Anatolian people<\/strong>. And during the centuries, craftsmen and artists searched for the ways to improve the texture & the designs of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see that peshtemal <\/strong>is more than a towel. It is a centuries-old tradition<\/em>! So, what can match a traditionally designed facility better than a centuries-old traditional Turkish towel<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
