Likely replacing the aquaduct district for the Romans

Of the known Civs it would make the most sense for Rome (though they are also known for their aqueducts which it would replace lol)
Although they're speculated to not be in the base game, Turkey/The Ottomans are well known for their baths as well

Just a theory, but if these are roman bath houses and they replace the aquaduct district, my guess is that they don't require an adjacent fresh water source to be built, or they are an additional district that provides amenities / growth and can act as an extra tile to connect your city and aquaduct allowing fresh water to be one tile further away.

It would make much more sense if it was an additional district like you suggest. I mean romans without aquaducts ...

It's very unlikely to have additional district without replacing one.
The bath could be Greek, though... Or it still could be Romans without Aqueduct.
UK have city named Bath which derived from Rome but since it's not UK, I was thinking of the Great Bath of Mohenjo-Daro

I thought the stepwell was speculated as the unique building for India

To sum it up:
Rome:
++ They are most famous for their baths.
- This would likely mean Rome without Aqueduct or some weird setup.
- Not clear they aren't called "Thermae" - the game tends to use native names, especially those well-known.
Greece:
+ They've used baths too.
- They aren't as popular as Roman ones.
India:
+ They've used some cool baths as well.
-- They are even less known than Greece.
- India has UI (Stepwell), which makes it less likely to have unique district in addition.

Well the Norse definitely never took baths.

Of course it will provide fresh water bonus, but it will not be called aqueduct and unlikely to look like aqueduct. Which would mean what from any perspective except pure gameplay, it's not aqueduct.

They can have aquaduct graphics leading to the baths. on the same tile, or the baths graphics will replace the little buildings on the district tile and the aquaduct will still curve around them.
There is so much overthinking going on in this thread. Roman's are wildly famous for their baths. When you google historic baths, basically everything that comes up is about Roman baths. They spread baths through their empire. The town of bath that has been mentioned in this thread already is a RL bath district for Bristol as a city.
This is 99.9% a roman bath district.
