Description
View of arched recess at frigidarium at the Stabian Baths in Pompeii, Italy. "To finish their bath, bathers would return to the apodyterium and enter the frigidarium ... The frigidarium consists of a circular basin framed with four semi circular niches. This room was richly decorated with garden scenes with the domed ceiling painted blue to represent the sky. A jet of water fell into the basin from a niche in the upper part of the wall,"--AD 79 Destruction and Rediscovery website.
