The Baths of the Roman Empire

An infographic illustrating a typical Roman bathhouse design and elements. The Baths of the Roman Empire were a complex network of public facilities playing a major role in the daily lives of the citizens of the empire. Most Roman baths followed a similar layout of interconnected rooms and spaces, including a frigidarium (cold room), tepidarium (warm room), and caldarium (hot room), along with an apodyterium (changing room), natatio (swimming pool), and palaestra (exercise areas). This standardized arrangement allowed bathers to navigate the complex with familiarity regardless of their location within the empire.

Built in 110AD and still the best velux you’d see this side of the Shannon. By M Agrippa builders for PE house SPQR Ltd who specialised in infrastructure and civils before an expansion. Eventually SPQR was broken up by asset stripping vulture funds and eventually became JJ Rhatigan . . #pantheon #rome #magrippalfcostertivmfecit #lookingup #lookinguparchitecture #jj_urbex #concrete #roma #italia #ilpantheon #radial #rsa_minimal #geometrica #ceilinglight #oculus #jj_architecture #agrippa #rotunda #piazzadellarotonda #romanarchitecture #discoveritaly #romearchitecture #classical #geometry #spqr #forzaitalia (at Pantheon - Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres - Roma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7jP9Xss2P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Colosseum An original watercolour painted on a sheet of handmade watercolour paper from the Amalfi paper mill, Italy. I was give several sheets of rejected paper that were torn, very much imperfect. However they suited the subject matter, complimenting the ruined, crumbling architecture. The painting hangs in our bathroom against travertine tiles. I’ve had the painting framed between two sheets of glass without a mount so that you can see the tiles behind the holes in the paper. #romanarchitecture #colosseum #rome #roma #watercolour #amalfipaper #amalfipapermill #handmadepaper (at Alan Reed Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5E9i_ooJN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

S E G O V I A 🕍 The huge Roman aqueduct is one of the main attractions in Segovia. Partly because it's hard to miss but mostly because it's such an impressive feat of engineering! 🤯 #segovia #segoviaspain #segoviaaqueduct #aqueduct #aqueducts #roman #romanarchitecture #romanempire #history #historical #ancientrome #espana #españa #ulstersnapper #viewruiner #columbia #prana #visitspain #tourismspain #turismoespaña #visitmadrid #madrid #madridespaña #sightseeing #travelwithme #travelgram #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelawesome #traveladdict (at Segovia, España) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlHb4DjvBE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

An Ancient City Beneath Rome: Visiting The Catacombs of Priscilla

Any visitor to Rome will want to see and explore the popular historical and cultural sites - the Colosseum, the Forum, the Trevi Fountain and, of course, the Vatican. But a large part of the city's ancient history actually lies underground in the tomb-lined tunnels or catacombs that weave beneath the streets of Rome.

Ponder this...🤔 Massive Roman aqueduct built in Segovia, Spain by emperor Trajan (r. 98-117 CE). Historically, humans formed settlements near major waterways and rivers to ensure they had a plentiful supply. However, in Ancient Rome, they created a way to transport water from its source and into their cities. Roman aqueducts used a combination of their strong concrete, formed in their trademark arch designs, to transport water in lead pipes from rivers and freshwater lakes right to their city centers. These epic engineering achievements were originally inspired by channels from designs in Ancient Egypt and Inda, but the Romans took it, ran with it, and expanded it. In addition to their road network, they constructed an extensive aqueduct system around their empire. The iconic aqueduct bridges still exist around Europe, but these were only a small part of their thousands of miles long aqueduct network. Rome alone had 11 different aqueduct systems providing the empire’s capital with fresh water. It came from sources 57 miles away. Aqua Virgo, a 21-mile extensive aqueduct system, is still functional in the Italian capital today. Agrippa constructed it in 19 BC. Even though it no longer supplies Rome with pure drinking water, it supplies the water for the famous fountains dotted around the city’s historical areas, including the Trevi fountain. The invention of a steady flow of water was ground-breaking for its day. Every time we turn on a faucet, we draw from Ancient Rome’s innovations. #architecturehistory #romanarchitecture #Architecturestudent #architecture #aquaduct #romanaquaduct Follow @littleprincejs 👑 https://www.instagram.com/p/CjMdAqXuV6R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Proposed design for an upcoming jewellery store. The design is derived more or less consciously derived from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture of classical antiquity. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #shopdesign #retaildesign #storedesign #interiordesign #retail #visualmerchandising #storefrontdesign #architecturedesign #design #antiquefacade #classicaldesign #greekarchitecture #shopfitting #merchandising #facadedesign #romanarchitecture #retailmerchandising #jewelleryaddict #jewellerystore #jewellerydesigner #interior #shop #architecture #interiordesigner #shopinterior #jewelleryshopdesign #retailinterior #jewellerydesign #jewellery (at Ambala, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CixG8dQLNiC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
