| Description |
Into the Bath First, you went into the changing room - or apodyterium, where you left your clothes on a shelf, hoping nobody would take a shine to them and take them home. To work up a nice lather before washing it all away in the baths, you might take some sort of exercise, like wrestling or weightlifting. Then you went into the hot room - the caldarium - and without lifting a finger you would find yourself sweating like a marathon runner. Soap hadn't been invented yet so instead you rubbed oil on your body and then scraped it off with a stick called a strigil. After all that steam in the caldarium (hot room), you relaxed in the tepidarium (warm room). Finally, there were the cold plunge-baths or swimming pools for a nice dip to close the pores, followed by a relaxing loll by the poolside. After the Bath A small fee could engage the services of a trained masseur. Grooming and beauty treatments by barbers and hairdressers were also available. And for the inside of the head, the bathhouse provided scholarly lectures and symposia. from signs at Bet She'an bathhouse |
