 Artist's impression of the ceramic roof.  | The Great Bath was the centre the bathingcomplex. It was fed with hot water directly from the Sacred Spring . The bath was 1.6 metres deep and has steps to let people walk in. A large flat slab of stone is set across the point where hot water flows into the bath. It is known today as the diving stone. There was a fountain feature fed by its own pipe from the Sacred Spring. At some point this was replaced with a smaller fountain. The Romans used Lead to make their pipes. They used a piece of lead and wound it around to make a pipe. below is a video of a person who was stupid enough to jump into the Great Bath. |
