Hadrian’s Baths at Lepcis Magna

Basics Built in Leptis Magna in 126-127 AD. Built in the reign of Hadrian (hence the name): he did not actually have anything to do with the baths. Complex was renovated in 180-193 AD under the reign of Emperor Commodus. First major building in Lepcis Magna to make use of imported marble for STRUCTURE and DECORATION. After this all important buildings used marble in this way and older buildings were upgraded to use it.

Function Large Imperial Thermae (bath complex) Public baths were paid for by the state for the local inhabitants. No separate facilities for women: how may the people have dealt with this?

History The imperial thermae evolved in the Early Empire and their mature and symmetrical plans became established from the time of Nero (his baths in 62AD) to Trajan (his baths in 105AD)

Layout of the complex A large exercise yard (palaestra) at the north end of the complex. An open air swimming pool (natatio) surrounded by Corinthian porticos of pink marble. Colonnaded halls flank the natatio leading to chnaging rooms (apodyteria) and toilets (latrines).

Layout continued Four openings lead into the cold room (frigidarium), the most significant space in the complex. It features 2 plunge pools, 1 at each end- these were added at the time of Commodus. A single doorway leads to the warm room (tepidarium) with its large central plunge pool flanked with grey marble columns. 2 smaller side baths were added later. The hot room (caldarium) has a barrel-vaulted ceiling with five glazed windows, each with a hot water basin below approached by steps.

Layout continued To either side were the sweating rooms (laconia) and the external furnaces using the hypocast heating system to heat the water and air for the rooms. Other rooms on the east and west sides were most probably used as libraries, lecture rooms or rest areas.

thers Baths of Caracalla (Emperor 198-217), in Rome. Largest thermae in the world: were free and open to everyone and could hold up to approx. 1600 bathers. One of over 50 thermae in Rome at the time.
