Some time ago there was a documentary on a team of archeologists that discovered a Roman bath somewhere in Anatolia.

They built a copy of the a Roman bath complete with heated pool.

Considering that the Turks only came into Asia Minor (now “Turkey”) about 1000 years ago, and the Byzantine Roman empire controled things before that.... a 1500 year old bath is a ROMAN bath, NOT Turkish.

Besides that the whole concept of a “Turkish Bath” was simply stolen by the Turks from the Romans—since they happened to move in and take over.
