Caldarium Tepidarium Fridgidarium are all parts of a Roman bathroom but what are they?
As far as I know, the tepidarium and the caldarium are the same. Both of them were used for warm bathing. The water was heated by fires below the tubs. The frigidarium was a cool bathing area. It seems odd, but the Romans would have everyday conversations in these baths. You would bathe with others (of your own gender, of course) and discuss things such as business deals or upcoming events in the theatres. Men were usually given more bathhouse time than women. Ancient Rome has endless information to learn.
Why is the water so cold in the room of frigidarium?
The water was cold so that it would close up pores that would have been opened up by the hotter water of the tepidarium and caldarium. It was sometimes kept cold using snow.
How long did women have in baths in ancient rome?
Women spent roughly the same time as men at the baths, about two hours.. The main routine was to start with exercising and/or playing sports at the palaestra (the gym). This was followed by bathing. Afterwards there was washing, which was separate from bathing. Bathers had olive oil put on their body, and had their skin scraped with special metal scrapers (the strigil). Pumice and beech ash were used to treat the skin. Finally, they had a massage which was done with perfumed ointments such almond oil and myrrh imported from the East and Egypt. Bathing was a long process. After undressing in the apodytermium bathers went to the tepidarium which was heated with warm air to prepare for the hot vapour of the baths and for anointing, which was usually done by slaves, and to reacclimatise the body before going back outdoors. They then proceeded into the caldarium, a hot air room, which contained a square-shaped pool with hot water (calida piscina) and a labrum, a round basin with cold water bathers poured on their heads before leaving the room. In imperial times a laconicum or sudatorium was added. This was a very hot, sweating room or sauna. After having opened the pores of the skin in the tepidarium, caldarium and laconicum, bathers went into the frigidarium, which had a pool with cold water, for a cold plunge- bath to close the pores. Finally they went back to the tepidarium to readjust to the outdoors temperature.
