Caldarium

model of a Roman bath

In the hot room, you can either have a hot bath or enjoy the misty sauna. In the adjacent room, you can see the mechanism of the hypocaust, which was essentially a big oven that heated the water of the caldarium and the tepidarium and circulated warm air under their floors.
