Bath House
Bath House
The Romans knew a thing or two about bathing and also about heating, and you can admire both innovations in the Bath Houses. One bath was hot and sauna-like, designed to make the pores sweat. The other was the cold plunge bath - skin tingling for those brave enough to take the plunge.

Water Shrine
Water Shrine
A small stone altar once stood at the far end of the shrine. Offerings were made here to the goddess of the spring - something that still happens today when people throw money into the pool. This modern superstition has its beginnings in the worship of water that carried on here 1,600 years ago.

Latrines
Latrines
The Romans living at the Villa enjoyed all mod cons including flushing toilets. The Villa's latrine was a wooden bench with a row of holes cut in it placed over the sewer. The flush came from a stone water channel which carried through fresh running water. Sponges on sticks were used as toilet paper.
