They didn't really. They would rub themselves down with herbs and flowers to kill the fleas and ticks. Maybe, if they felt like it, they would take a bath once a year. Bathing was not one of the things on the top of the list for people. There were many reasons why they didn't. It was hard to get enough water to fill a tub, and it was hard to heat up enough water to make it comfortable. Then, to get the privacy and the clothes they put back on were usually dirty. The people who did take a bath the most were Muslim and Jewish and that is something that set them apart. It was a stinky world.

What were some of the problems faced by people in the roman empire during the dark ages?
The Middle Ages (the term Dark Ages has been out of favour for quite some time) was the period which followed the fall of the Roman Empire. Therefore, it no longer existed.
What was the era before the dark ages?
The Renaissance time period came after the Dark Ages. ----- It seems most people who use the term Dark Ages are talking about the Early Middle Ages, which is a period from about 450 AD to 1000 AD. They call the following period the Middle Ages. Some people would have the Dark Ages coincide with the Age of Migration, from about 300 to 700, and this would mean it was followed by the second half of the Early Middle Ages, which began with a time called the Carolingian Renaissance. Other people would have the Dark Ages be equal to the entire Middle Ages, so it would be followed by the European Renaissance. I think most historians do not use the term Dark Ages.

What is a more appropriate historical title for the medieval time period AD 500 to 1500 the Middle Ages or the Dark Ages?
The Middle Ages. "Dark Ages" was invented by people living in the later Renaissance period, because they thought that living in a time without the benefit of the knowledge and full appreciation of the art and philosophiy of ancient Rome an Greece meant that you were 'living in the dark'. In reality, there was nothing 'dark' about the middle ages. It was a period full of development and discovery. "Middle" Ages simply indicates that this was the period between Antiquity and Renaissance.
