Roman Baths

On our last day in Bath we visited the Roman Baths.  The Baths were 7 meters underground due to the fact that the ground level increased as a factor of time.  There was a large central bath called the Kings Bath, sadly it was unsanitary so we were not allowed to touch it.  There were a number of side baths one of which was called the Tepidarium which oddly enough was the hottest room in the whole complex.  Next to the Tepidarium was the cold pool where you went into to cool off.  The water in the baths was not that clean according to most texts.  At the end of the baths there was a water from the springs that you could drink, it was not bad but I think I prefer regular water.

The Tepidian

 Those tiles were located underneath the floor so that hot air from the furnace could flow under the floor.
