The Roman baths were a cultural custom and their presence evolved over a period of time. It is not known when the baths were developed nor who "invented" them.

The Roman baths were called public baths because they were open to the general public and the cost of entry was very low or even at times completely free. This denoting of them as public baths also differentiated them from the private baths that were run for profit or the baths that were in private homes.
The name of the Roman baths was thermae. Only in the city of Rome, where there were many baths, there were distinctive names for baths: the Baths of Agrippa, the Baths of Nero, the Thermae Etrusci, the Baths of Titus, the Baths of Domitian, the Baths of Trajan, the Baths of Caracalla and the Baths of Diocletian. Thermae Etrusci is a term coined by historians. They were commissioned by Claudius Etruscus, a freedman at the court of the emperor Claudius who became the head of the imperial financial administration.

I am not sure what you are asking. The baths were very popular and were used everyday by everyone. They had steam rooms, hot baths, cold baths, even services of other sorts. Business was done in the baths and there were games played there as well. It was the centerpiece of the Roman world.
