Hypocaust or under floor heating system ran through a series of channels supported by tiles at the Roman baths at Bath, England. The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. the Roman Bath House is supplied by water which bubbles up from the ground at Bath and fell as rain on the nearby Mendip Hills. The temple was constructed in 60-70 AD and the bathing complex was gradually built up over the next 300 years. During the Roman occupation of Britain, and possibly on the instructions of Emperor Claudius, engineers drove oak piles to provide a stable foundation into the mud and surrounded the spring with an irregular stone chamber lined with lead

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable under floor heating system, known as a hypocaust, in the Roman baths at Bath, England. The intricate network of channels supported by tiles demonstrates the advanced engineering skills of the ancient Romans. The Roman Baths complex itself is an extraordinary site of historical significance nestled in the heart of Bath. This architectural marvel was constructed between 60-70 AD and expanded over the following three centuries. It stands as a testament to both Roman ingenuity and their appreciation for luxurious bathing experiences. Water sources from natural springs beneath Bath and rainfall from nearby Mendip Hills supply this magnificent bathhouse with its bubbling waters. To ensure stability, oak piles were driven into the muddy ground during construction while an irregular stone chamber lined with lead encased the spring. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a glimpse of life during ancient Rome. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on these remnants of history that have stood strong for centuries. This horizontal photograph captures not only a local landmark but also serves as a reminder that even in antiquity, humans possessed incredible knowledge and skill when it came to creating comfortable living spaces. Let us appreciate this fascinating piece of our past preserved within these brick walls – an enduring symbol of innovation and sophistication from another era.
