Thermae


The bathhouse is for the Romans almost vital. There are successively different treatments that one undergoes, and meanwhile there is plenty of opportunity to speak with each other, develop ideas, politics or businesses to do business. After entering one undresses, harbors clothing in the loculi, tables, and pay at the balneator, lifeguard. Then it starts with sport exercises on the palaestra courtyard, and a visit to the latrinae, toilets. This real water closet for six washes with wastewater from the bathhouse. Then the frigidarium, cold bath, sudatorium, sweat room, caldarium, hot water bath and the tepidarium, a nice warm area where it is most rumored. Finally, again in the frigidarium and is ready Cornelius. For example, the sequence could be at least, we do not exactly know. Incidentally, Cornelia is not at the same time to the bathhouse because balnea mixta, mixed bathing, has recently prohibited. There are special baduren for men, women and the sick. The bathhouse is hot. The name says it all: Thermae means warm baths. The floors and walls are heated by a hypocaust, an ingenious system where heat from the praefurnium, boiler room, and in cavities cavities is routed under the floor. A large bronze cauldron in praefurnium heats the bath water, which enters the basins through beautiful gargoyles. This bathhouse is made after an archaeological dig in Heerlen, dating from the first to fourth century.
