Around AD 310, a Roman emperor had a private bath built with three pools, heated floors and a sauna; archaeologists have now uncovered its unusual design
- The bath was incorporated directly into the emperor’s palace, with its heating system, bathing areas and sophisticated architecture working together within a relatively compact space.
- Nearly 1,700 years ago, an emperor could retreat from the demands of the Roman court without leaving his palace.
- Beneath a monumental tower in what is now eastern Serbia, he had a private bathing suite built with heated floors, multiple pools and a sauna, a remarkably sophisticated space designed for comfort, privacy and relaxation.
