Statement

Jews took part in the Roman culture around them: their economy, clothing (tunics and mantles) and leisure often cannot be told apart from their neighbors'. The public baths, places for washing, socializing, medical treatment and pleasure, became an important part of Jewish social life despite statues and public nudity.
