This is a plan of the bath complex, including the
baths themselves, the temple and the sacred
fountain attached. Can you outline each separate
section of the building? Be able to tell me why
you placed the divisions where you have. (use
the next page for reference if you need to)

Based on what you decided this part/parts of the
complex was used for, tell me what purpose you
think the labeled rooms served.
5
Why is the roof stepped in like this? (think
about the practical reasons)
6
This is called a hypocaust, it is under the floor
of many of the bathing rooms. Why do you think
the floor was hollow like this? (see the next
