It's getting warmer and warmer, I didn't know how to get dressed because the mornings are pleasant and cold, and during the day our sun warms us with its warm rays. Fortunately, these excavations are nicely protected and it is very pleasant under their shield. In this post, I will show you and tell you how much I know about this excavation that is under this shield.
This seems very similar to the excavation I wrote about in the last post, but on the contrary, what you will see in this post is a Roman bath and you can't even imagine how ingeniously it was built. It may sound boring, but when you have a good guide like I had then nothing is boring and because of that I picked up my little ears and carefully soaked in like a sponge.
The Roman bathroom, which is thousands of years old and still full of dust and history, is made in an interesting way. There are 4 tubs, and all 4 have different water temperatures. The first is the tub with cold water and they stayed in it the shortest, then comes the second tub that has hot water, then the third tub that has even warmer water, and finally the fourth tub in which they stayed the longest because it was the warmest and largest.
When they finished swimming in the fourth tub, they went back, the third, the second, and then the first tub. This was a custom for the Romans and this is how they bathed. It took them a whole day to swim, and they had to respect that because that's how they relaxed.
What was a miracle for me, and at the same time interesting, is that they had underfloor heating. They had tiny ceramic pipes everywhere under the ground and warm air passed through them. On one side, they would light a fire and warm smoke would pass through those pipes, thus providing themselves with a warm floor. They heated the tubs in a similar way.
This was the oldest spa and I would love to try it out and see what these people looked like and what else they were doing in that spa of theirs. Of course, I couldn’t get into the cold water tub :D
