Roman Bathhouse Interior - Hypocaust Heating System Explained #3049734 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated cross-section depicts a typical Roman public bathhouse, featuring the innovative hypocaust heating system-where hot air from a furnace circulated beneath raised floors and through wall flues. The interior shows the sequence of rooms: the hot caldarium with steam rising, the warm tepidarium, and the cool frigidarium, all supported by brick pilae stacks and timber framing. Small figures illustrate daily use, including bathing, socializing, and exercise.
