The present volume is a publication of the Frontinus-conference \u201cBathing Culture in Budapest\u201d, which was held in Budapest from September 8-15, 2022. There are 20 contributions published in this volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first section is dedicated to the award of the Frontinus Medal to Christer Bruun, who was honoured during the conference in recognition of his foundational work on Roman water systems, in particular his research on hydraulic epigraphy, and to acknowledge his vast contribution to larger social questions in the Mediterranean world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second section is dedicated to bathing and baths from ancient Egypt up to the Islamic hammam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The topics of the third section are thermomineral baths from Roman times to Ottoman kaplica. Some Roman examples from the western provinces of the Empire in context were followed by Baiae, Baden and the Roman \u201cKleopatra G\u00fczellik Ilicasi\u201d in the micro-region of Pergamon. The section is closed with the connections between Ottoman baths in Hungary and the center of the Ottoman Empire to Budapest spas of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last section deals with various water related topics not in direct connection with bathing culture such as the repair of a stone siphon of Patara, water control in Hierapolis and Laodicea and a used water aqueduct at Ephesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
