The Roman baths typically required a significant number of interior columns to support their expansive roofs, with many structures featuring anywhere from 20 to 40 columns, depending on the size and design of the bath complex. These columns were not only structural but also served decorative purposes, showcasing intricate designs typical of Roman architecture. The use of columns allowed for large, open spaces, which were essential for the various functions of the baths.

Because of this, they did not have arches.
