Italy, Pompeii - Stabian Baths
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The main entrance on via dell'Abbondanza leads to a large courtyard. The pool is found to the left, whereas a colonnade is found to the right, which leads to the men's quarters, which are split into the apodyterium (dressing room), with the frigidarium (for cold baths), which leads to the tepidarium (for medium temperature baths) and then to the calidarium (for hot baths). The heating was guaranteed by a piping system in the walls and double floors that circulated the hot air coming from the furnaces and from mobile braziers.
Herculaneum's Suburban Baths
Herculaneum's Suburban Baths are the best-preserved Roman baths anywhere. They were built on mezzanine terrace between Herculaneum's main level and the seashore below. The baths were swamped by the pyroclastic surge during the eruption of AD 79 which forced its way in to the structure through windows and ceiling lights. This had the happy consequence of equalising the pressure inside so that the walls and roofs were held in place. Not now normally accessible to visitors, the building is one of the most impressive of all there are to see at Pompeii and Herculaneum. They were probably built in the AD 40s, based on decoration styles. The owners of the House of the Relief of Telephus had their own private access to the baths, and may thus have paid for its construction. Sadly, no inscription has survived to confirm when or by whom they were built. Marcus Nonius Balbus, the patron of Herculaneum, whose statue stands outside in a small square lived in the late 1st century BC and was probably not connected with the baths. The building is prescribed content for the UK-based OCR examination board's A-level paper Cities of Roman Italy (CC6).

√ Baths, water supply and sanitation of Pompeii and Herculaneum | Ancient History
#iitutor #AncientHistory #HumanRemains
For the Ancient Romans, baths were a social place and leisure activity, not just a place for public hygiene. Many houses, even those belonging to wealthier people, did not have bathrooms. Instead people went to the bathing complex. Pompeii had four baths: the Stabian, the Forum, the Central and the amphitheatre baths. Typically the baths include the following rooms: A change room (apodyterium), a hot bath (caldarium), a warm steam-room (tepidarium), a cold bath (frigidarium). After a bath people could have a massage. At the Stabian and forum baths separate provisions were made for men and women. Over 1000 oil lamps have been found at the Stabian baths, this suggests they were open at night. Public baths were a very social place where: friends would meet, people would have a massage, exercise, have a game of dice. Water supply: Pompeii had a good water supply system. Early inhabitants of Pompeii relied on water from the Sarno river, deep wells and rain collecting cisterns. At the time of Augustus,
the imperial aqueduct at Misenum had a branch built to supply Pompeii. Water from this flowed to a main tank. From here it was siphoned off into three pipes to supply the city. Many private homes in Pompeii were connected directly to this source of fresh running water. One of the three pipes supplied the forty-two public fountains (nymphaea) found all over Pompeii. They were usually located at crossroads. It is likely that most people in Pompeii lived within easy walking distance of a fountain. These public fountains provided a continuous source of fresh water as there was an overflow system. The excess water flowed down the street. The water also helped wash away rubbish. Water flowed through lead pipes but the Pompeian’s were unaware of the health hazard. Pompeii was noisy, dirty, smelly and generally unhygienic. It had rubbish in the streets. Pompeii did have public latrines, like most Roman towns. There was water running continuously through a drainage channel. A large public latrine that could seat 20 people has been found. Some private homes in Pompeii and Herculaneum had latrines.

Herculaneum, Italy Walking Tour in 4K
****You can click on the time links below to skip ahead.****On August 24th, 79 AD, Mt. Vesuvius erupted for the first time in centuries. Herculaneum, just 3 miles away from the base of Mt. Vesuvius was spared from initial destruction as the wind carried most of the ash and pumice on to Pompeii. On the following night, the plume of ash above Mt. Vesuvius collapsed causing massive pyroclastic flows that buried both Pompeii and Herculaneum. While most of Pompeii has been excavated. It is estimated that only 25% of Herculaneum has been excavated. The rest lies under the current city of Ercolano.

The Ancient Roman City of Pompeii (part I)
The ancient Roman town-city of Pompeii is located not far from the modern city of Naples. Pompeii lies about 8 km from Vesuvius. The powerful eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of volcanic ash and pumice.
This is part I of my trip to Pompeii and in this video you can see the suburban baths outside the city walls and Porta Marina, the Roman Basilica and the Sanctuary of Apollo and the Roman Amphitheater. The video also includes other places of interest such as the House of Romulus and Remus, the House of the Wild Boar, the house named after the Greek dramatist Menander, the house of the wealthy Roman woman Julia Felix.

Tour of the Ancient Roman City of Pompeii, Campania Region, Italy
The city of Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the commune of Pompei.
Along with Herculaneum, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in the year AD 79.
The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1749.
Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.
The ruins of Pompeii are situated near the modern suburban town of Pompeii (nowadays written with one i). It stands on a spur formed by a lava flow to the north of the mouth of the Sarno River (known in ancient times as the Sarnus). Today it is some distance inland, but in ancient times it would have been nearer to the coast.
Pompeii is about 8 km (5 miles) away from Mount Vesuvius. It covered a total of 163 acres, and would have been in the region of Campania.

Ruins of Pompeii: Walking Tour (With Music)
Here is the link to an updated Pompeii walk:
Take a 2-hour walk around the ruins of Pompeii. Pompeii is located near the Bay of Naples. It was destroyed in 79 A.D. when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered the city in a blanket of ash. While most Pompeiians had time to flee, over 2,000 people died. Pompeii was rediscovered in 1758 by a group of explorers. The excavation process continues to this today with one-third of the city still waiting to be unearthed. Now the city acts as a window into the ancient past. You can see the streets, buildings, houses and even the remains of the victims, just as they were almost 2,000 years ago.

Herculaneum Forum Baths
Built in the late 1st century BC and redecorated between AD 41 and 68, these Baths occupy a large part of Insula VI in Herculaneum very close to the (still buried) Basilica. This walk-round takes you through the men's suite of baths starting with the Caldarium (hot room), through to the Tepidarium (warm room) with its partially collapsed floor and then through the Apodyterium (changing room) to the circular Frigidarium (cold room) plunge bath. Not to be confused with the better-preserved Suburban Baths (also on this site).

Pompeii, Italy - Herculaneum
Pompeii is a ruined and partially buried Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery around 1592. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.
HERCULANEUM - A TOWN LOST... AND FOUND (1,700 YEARS LATER)
(See also POMPEII A few hours after Mount Vesuvius devastated Pompeii in 79 AD the neighbouring town of Herculaneum was buried by the eruption. And that was that for nearly 1,700 years. But the airtight seal ensured it was very well preserved and excavation has revealed the tastes and lifestyles of upper class Ancient Romans in fascinating detail. (19 July 2011)
24th August AD 79: Mount Vesuvius destroys Pompeii and Herculaneum
Eyewitness accounts of the eruption have survived in the shape of two letters from Pliny the Younger, and the discovery of the astoundingly well-preserved settlements has provided astoundingly detailed evidence about daily Roman life.
It should be noted that there is considerable debate over the accuracy of this date due to archaeological discoveries and recent meteorological research, but the majority of scholars continue to favour the 24th August. This, by unnerving coincidence, was just one day after the annual Roman festival of Vulcanalia, which was held to honour the Roman god of fire.
It’s known that the eruption lasted for two whole days, and released thermal energy that was hundreds of thousands times greater than the atomic bomb. Beginning at around 1pm on the 24th August, Vesuvius sent gas, volcanic ash, and pumice into the stratosphere for up to 20 hours. This was followed by a pyroclastic flow, which carried gas and molten rock down from the volcano and which then buried the previously fallen ash.
It’s believed that the majority of the 1,500 people whose remains or impressions have been discovered died of thermal shock during one of the pyroclastic surges. Others may have suffocated, or been hit by falling rocks and collapsing buildings. There is still a lot of archaeological work to be done, especially at Herculaneum, but digging has been put on hold to focus on the preservation of the areas already uncovered.
Ancient Roman Baths in Pompeii 2011
I went and recorded video at the ancient Roman baths at Pompeii. It is really interesting. You get to see most of the baths.
Entering Pompeii by the Porta Marina
This is the way into Pompeii that most visitors see when they arrive. To the left (north) are the Suburban Baths (closed to the general public). The route is steep and quite a struggle for some visitors. The so-called Porta Marina once led down to the sea, which is now much further away thanks to the eruption of AD 79. Once inside the city visitors pass the Temple of Apollo (left) and the Basilica (right) before entering the Forum.
