Many still exist today and you can see the ruins. In Pompeii I was in one, but there were many more on the 65 acre site. Rome has about 11 or 12 public baths and each city usually had one public. This doesn't include the private ones. In England the baths in Bath, England still are there to see even though the water is polluted, so the Romans built baths every where they went.
