THERMAE Romans would visit the THERMAE daily to bathe There was a small entrance fee to use the THERMAE Romans did not invent THERMAE; Greeks did Romans improved upon heating of THERMAE through invention of hypocaust, a system of burning coal and wood underneath the ground to heat water provided by a dedicated aqueduct. It was in use up to the 19th century

THERMAE AND BALENEAE 11 imperial baths 856 public baths unknown number of private baths

The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy were Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between AD 212 and 216, during the reign of the Emperor Caracalla.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (188 – 217) Nicknamed Caracalla Caracalla is remembered as one of the most notorious emperors because of the massacres and persecutions he authorized throughout the empire. He also arranged for the murder of his brother Geta in order to gain sole control of the Empire.

The Caracalla bath complex of buildings was more a leisure center than just a series of baths.

The entire bath building was on a 6 meter (20 ft) high raised platform to allow for storage and furnaces under the building

The baths consisted of a frigidarium (cold room), a double pool tepidarium (warm), and a caldarium (hot room), as well as two palaestras (gyms where wrestling and boxing was practiced).

FRIGIDARIUM

The largest room, the vaulted tepidarium, measured 82 by 170 feet. The inside height of the tepidarium has been estimated at 125 feet

The north end of the bath building contained a natatio or swimming pool. The natatio was roofless with bronze mirrors mounted overhead to direct sunlight into the pool area.

In the many years of its greatness, the complex must have been staggering both in size and opulence: it originally accommodated some 1,600 bathers as well as other activities such as sports and theatricals – for up to 2,000 people at a time..

In the fifth century the baths are named among the marvels of Rome and there is evidence of restoration in the sixth century, but their use must have been rendered impossible when the aqueducts were cut by the Goths in 537 A.D.
