It's not a book, but an anime - Thermae Romae on netflix (has a dub) and it's about.. stay with me.. a time travelling roman who travels to future bath houses and studies their architecture and design, and incorporates those lessons into his own public bath designs in ancient Rome.
I really love when artist are allowed to just geek out on certain subjects. I'll definitely have to check Pompeii out!

I came across the live action version of Thermae Romae, and it struck me as so goddamn weird that I figured it had be to based on anime.
And, yep.

I love that movie! I once caused most of a bad movie group to walk out the door with that one.
