古罗马公共浴场的捐赠及其社会作用研究

A Study on the Benefaction of the Ancient Roman Public Baths and Its Social Impact

作为古罗马帝国时期人们生活中心之一的公共浴场受到了罗马各个阶层的关注,其建造和维护的资金来源主要包括国家财政上的支持、皇帝的捐赠以及其他富有公民个人的馈赠。这些捐赠行为不仅促进了古罗马社会文明程度的提高,同时也推动了城市化运动的蓬勃发展和罗马文化向被征服地区的传播。

The public baths, which were one of the most important civic living centers in the Imperial era,had attracted the attention of all members of the Roman society. The funds for the construction and maintenance mainly came from the financial support of the state, the benefaction of the emperor and the gifts of upper-class citizens. The benefaction not only promoted the social civilization of ancient Rome, but also promoted the vigorous development of the urbanization and the diffusion of Roman culture to the conquered areas.
