Bathing customs reflect a nation's cultural practices and serve as a mirror of its identity. Focusing on this point, the present study aims to analyze the bath culture of the Ottoman Empire from political, economic, and sociocultural perspectives. While the Ottoman Empire inherited the bathing culture of the Roman Empire, it also developed its own unique traditions. Therefore, this study compares and analyzes the similarities and differences between the two empires. The analysis reveals that although there were fundamental similarities in the bathing cultures of both empires, notable differences emerged, particularly in their religious aspects. In other words, both the Roman and Ottoman bath cultures shared common functions in terms of political purposes, religious activities, artistic and intellectual pursuits, sociocultural roles, and economic objectives. However, while the Roman bath culture, which inherited elements of Greek bathing practices, reflected a polytheistic tradition, the Ottoman bath culture evolved based on Islamic principles. Through this comparative study, the distinct characteristics of the Ottoman Empire's bath culture were ultimately illuminated.
