∙ 10y agoPeople sent an average of two hours at the bath. The main routine was to start with exercising and/or playing sports at the palaestra (the gym). This 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
