Baths

The document describes the layout and features of Roman baths, using the Roman Baths in Bath, England as an example. The baths had separate rooms for undressing, and four main rooms - the caldarium with a hot pool and underfloor heating, the laconicum which was an extremely hot sauna-like room, the tepidarium with a warm pool and heating, and the frigidarium with a cold pool. An important part of the baths was the sophisticated piping system that carried naturally hot spring water from the source.
