Domes were used as roofs for the hot rooms of some bathhouses, which were made in circular shape to accommodate the dome. In the western part of the Roman Empire they were used for a type of temple which had a rotunda with a dome on top. The most famous of these is the Pantheon in the city of Rome, which still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.
