Roman cities had running water, toilets and proper sewers. It was a technology lost to Europe after the Western Empire collapsed.

Roman baths are famous; they loved to bathe and often put their baths near geothermal points. When I lived in Chetenham (dad was a liaison at GCHQ) we visited Bath often, where there are Roman baths that are beautifully restored.
