BATHING WITH THE ROMANS

The exact use of this small room, located next to the furnace block and entered only from outside from the service courtyard, is not certain. Possibly it was a storeroom. It could also be a toilet, as a wastewater channel passes under the floor, and latrines were usually included in bathhouses. In large baths like in Alexandria, the latrines were huge communal spaces, richly decorated with marble.
