About

Bath Houses in Roman Britain

The Roman bath house was a central institution of daily life — part hygiene facility, part social club, part leisure complex. Every significant fort, town and villa of any status possessed bathing facilities. The cold room (frigidarium), warm room (tepidarium) and hot room (caldarium) were heated by hypocaust systems beneath the floors. Britain's most famous example, the Roman Baths at Bath (Aquae Sulis), combined curative spa waters with a major religious sanctuary.
