Remains of Roman Baths

Remains of Roman Baths


Fiesole, Italy (IT)
Roman baths in Fiesole ( Florence ), built by Augustus and expanded by Hadrian. Beyond the troughs are the frigidarium, the tepidarium, and the caldarium, the cold, warm, and hot baths. The columns visible under the floors of the latter two are the hypocaust, which served to raise the floor so a fire could be built under it.
