Description
View of pool against wall in men’s tepidarium at the Stabian Baths in Pompeii, Italy. "Taking a bath was not a simple chore ... A visitor could use a cold bath (the frigidarium), a warm bath (the tepidarium) and a hot bath (the caldarium). A visitor would spend some of his time in each one before leaving. A large complex would also contain an exercise area (the palaestra), a swimming pool and a gymnasium. One of the public baths at Pompeii contains two tepidariums and caldariums along with a plunge pool and a large exercise area"--Roman baths, by C. N. Trueman from The History Learning site.
