I am currently outnumbered here by boys. And although they are all lovely, sometimes it seems that all they do is watch sport! So as they boys were engrossed in the heat of the six nations, me and a friend went to the area of Caracalla. We visited the 'Baths of Caracella' which was the largest bath complex in the world when in was completed in 217AD. This huge 11 hectare (27 acre) large complex housed bathing facilities could accommodate more than 1600 people. It is amazing that this building is still standing. From some of the remains that remain there today, you can imagine how splendid it would have looked in its day!
