Summary
[edit]DescriptionSanctuary of Asclepius at Epidaurus - Greek Bath - 52042447159.jpg |
English: Built around 300 BC, the Greek Baths are located south of the Banqueting Hall and a short distance west of the Katagogion. This area of the Hellenistic-period sanctuary would have been heavily used by pilgrims and their families as well as athletes taking part in competitions at the nearby stadium. It was unlikely to have been directly used as part of the purification or bathing rites associated with the healing cult. The Greek Baths measured 37 x 24.5 metres overall. The entrance was via a door on the south-western side. This led to two large courtyard areas that were further surrounded on three sides by various bathing rooms. Stairs led from the courtyard to an upper storey whose arrangement is unknown. The inner courtyard was an open space possibly used for simple ablutions or light exercise. This area was directly connected to a second porticoed courtyard surrounded by columns.
Both the northern and western sides were built with long, rectangular communal cold bathing pools. The eastern side featured smaller unheated bathing rooms including a deep-immersion pool. The baths were supplied by stone-built water conduits. During the Roman period, the Greek Baths were modified with two large bathing pools and a series of cisterns for water storage added to the eastern side. The open courtyard was also modified with a series of large, square pillars dividing the previously open space into two aisles. No system for heating the water was ever added to the baths. The Greek Baths have undergone some restoration. Visitors can easily see the arrangement of the southern and central courtyards, as well as the series of rooms around the perimeter. On the eastern side, stone paving also remains. Of particular note are the extensive exposed drains and stone-built water conduits that are preserved in-situ leading into and out of the complex.
