Reading edition
Martial, Bk. VI. 34. bk. III. 51. bk. II. 76. As early as Ovid, Art of Love, bk. III. 639., we read:
Quum custode foris tunicam servante puellae Celent furtivos balnea tuta iocos,
(When the doorkeeper at the entrance keeps the girl’s garments, and the discreet baths cover surreptitious amusements); also in Quintilian, Institut. bk. V. ch. 9., nam si est signum adulterae lavari cum viris, etc. (if indeed it is a mark of a lewd woman to bathe with men).
