Where all rooms hot in a roman bath house?

Answer 1

• Palaestra- an area in the baths that is an open space surrounded by a colonnade. It is basically the exercise area.
• Apodyterium- the change room
• Tepidarium- warm room
• Caldarium- hot room
• Frigidarium- cold room
• Laconicum- dry sweating room

Answer 2

Roman bath houses had separate houses for men and women, and some could hold 3,000 people at one time. Most had at least 4 rooms-

1 x Exercise room = Unctuarium

1 x Tepidarium = room with tepid pool

1 x Caldarium = Sauna

1 x Frigidarium = Cold pool

Also included were small cubicals for changing

Answer 3

The bathing rooms of Roman baths were:

The apodytermium {a changing room}

The tepidarium {a room heated with warm air to prepare for the hot vapour of the baths and for anointing, which was usually done by slaves, and to reacclimatise the body before going back outdoors}

The caldarium {a hot air room, with a square-shaped pool with hot water (calida piscina) and a labrum, a round basin with cold water bathers poured on their heads before leaving the room}

The laconicum or sudatorium {a very hot sweating room or sauna}

The frigidarium {a room with a pool with cold water, for a cold plunge- bath to close the pores after they had been opened in the sudatorium}

The Romans did more than just bathing at their baths. There was also a gym (the palaestra). People played sports and did exercises before bathing. After that after that they washed (this was separate from bathing). They had olive oil put on their body, and had their skin scraped with special metal scrapers (the strigil). Pumice and beech ash were used to treat the skin. Afterwards they had a massage which was done with perfumed ointments such almond oil and myrrh imported from the East and Egypt. In the smaller baths they did this in the tempdarium. In the larger baths there was a separate hall for this, the main hall.

Bigger baths could be large complexes which also had shops, eating outlets,rooms for poetry reading, and libraries (the baths of Caracalla had two libraries, a Latin one and a Greek one). The largest baths also had a swinning pool.

The Romans believed that good health came from eating, bathing, massage and physical and mental exercise: mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy/sound mind in a healthy body). Therefore their baths provided for all of these. The baths were one of the main meeting points for people. On average people spent two hours at the baths.
