Pompeii,
Stabian Baths - John Seach
The Stabian Baths date back to the
times of the Roman colony. They were damaged during the 62 AD earthquake
and were not restored by the time
Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. The building contains a large gymnasium with
columns on three sides, a changing
room, frigidarium, tepidarium (heated by hot air from a space under the
floor),
and bath tubs. The oldest section
contains various small rooms, an open air swimming pool,
and side room for changing and oiling.
