The Romans had a system of underfloor heating. The floor was raised above the ground by pillars. Smoke from furnaces passed through this space to make it heat the rooms. The smoke and heat were then channelled up the walls through ceramic box tiles so that the walls were heated and the smoke could be released via flues of the roof. The tiles of the roof also provided insulation.
