The Forum Baths also called, Spa Lucky, is a spa resort in Roman times , buried by ' eruption of Vesuvius in 79 , and found as a result of the archaeological excavations of the' ancient Pompeii : take their name from the proximity to the hole .
The Baths of the Forum were built in the first century BC , shortly after the conquest of Pompeii by the Romans and then around 80 BC : this is deducible both from the construction technique, that is in opus reticolatum , both from the discovery of an epigraph, even if it is not certain that its origin is from the baths, in which the names of the builders of the building are mentioned
The baths were restored in the Julio-Claudian period and after the Pompei earthquake of 62 , when they remained the only ones active in the city, as they had suffered little damage ; they were then buried under a blanket of ashes and lapilli following the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and brought to light thanks to the excavations of the Bourbon explorers in 1823
The baths are divided into two sections, the female and the male ones, with separate entrances : the only element of union is represented by the praefurnium , where there were three boilers for heating the water and the consequent formation of steam from then convey to the two calidari , through the tegulae mammatae system , while the draft was secured by flues open on the roof
The women's department has access along Via delle Terme and enters directly into the dressing room: this has no niches where the clothes were usually stored and therefore the presence of wooden cabinets is deductible; then follows the frigidarium , the tepidarium and the calidarium with pool and labrum , of which only the base has been found

Terme del Foro- Scavi di Pompei
TERME DEL FORO
si trovano alle spalle del tempio di Giove e risalgono agli anni immediatamente successivi la deduzione della colonia dei veterani da parte del generale Silla (80 a.C.).
Parte femminile e parte maschile disponevano di ingressi separati.
La sezione maschile presenta sequenza di apodyterium, utilizzato anche come tepidarium, frigidarium, calidarium.
Come molti edifici a Pompei, le terme subirono gravi danni durante il terremoto del 62 d.C.. Lo stato attuale è in gran parte il risultato di successivi lavori di restauro.
Notevole la cura e l'impegno dedicati alla decorazione degli ambienti, come ad esempio le nicchie per riporre abiti e oggetti per il bagno decorate con figure maschili in terracotta( telamoni) e la volta con elaborati stucchi a rilivo dell'apodyterium-tepidarium.
Nello stesso ambiente si può notare un gran braciere di bronzo che serviva per il riscaldamento.
La parte femminile più piccola era in costruzione al momento dell'eruzione.
Più di 500 lucerne trovate nella zona d'ingresso della parte maschile dovevano servire per l'illuminazione durante le aperture serali.

At this typical 2nd-century-BC bath complex, bathers would enter from the vestibule, stop off in the vaulted apodyterium (changing room), and then pass through to the tepidarium (warm baths) and caldarium (hot baths). Particularly impressive is the stuccoed vault in the men's changing room, complete with whimsical images of putti (winged babies) and nymphs.
Le Terme Stabiane have a bath complex of the Roman period , buried by ' eruption of Vesuvius in 79 , and found as a result of the archaeological excavations of the' ancient Pompeii : its kind, is the ' building oldest of the city. The Stabian Baths, named after the crossroads between Via dell'Abbondanza and Via Stabiana , were built around the IV - III century BC, in an area that was probably located on the outskirts before the extension of the city and used as a cemetery area , as evidenced by the discovery of a tomb to hypogeum.
The structure has a porticoed gym with a trapezoidal base in the center : the columns , originally from the slimmer shape, were heavily plastered after the earthquake of 62 . In the eastern zone are arranged, divided for men and women, the environments for the bathroom: the frigidarium male has a turn with dome in imitation of the sky , niches on the walls and representations with subjects marine
This is followed by the tepidarium and caldarium , the male form an apse , with tub dedicated to ablutions and decorated with a labrum with d 'jet water lukewarm: in these environments the pavement was supported by small batteries brick , in such a way that the area remained empty to allow airhot to circulate and to reach the interspaces placed along the walls in the same way. The baths were also equipped with a dressing , the male decorated with cupids , trophies d ' weapons and figures of bacchico procession , and one for the room kilns , used to produce heat ; the entire female area had no connection with the gym which was reserved exclusively for men .
In the northern part there is a latrine, while in the west is the pool, surrounded by two smaller tanks used by athletes to wash and cleanse: to divide the natatio area from the rest of the gym a low wall entirely stuccoed. Near the pool there are small rooms probably reserved for young people , while others had different features, such as one, finely decorated, used by the superintendent of the baths and another instead used as a sferisterio , that is for games with the ball. Most of the decorations have been preserved at the entrance, made up of columns and portals in tuff and in the gym: they are stuccoes in the fourth style , made of lime and calcite , as they are more resistant to humidity ; the main decorations of the portico depict Jupiter sitting with a scepter in his hand, Daedalus who forges the wings for Icarus and Hylas with the nymphs

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.
Terme di Giulia Felice - Restauri
In via di conclusione il cantiere di restauro degli apparati decorativi delle splendide Terme di Giulia Felice, che la proprietaria di casa, all'indomani del sisma del 62 d.C., aveva reso degne di Venere, come pubblicizzato dall'iscrizione in facciata. L'ingresso su Via dell'Abbondanza dà accesso ad un cortile porticato che fungeva da sala da attesa e forse spogliatoio; seguono i canonici ambienti degli impianti termali: la sala per bagni freddi (frigidarium), il tepidarium con pavimento rialzato e pareti concamerate per la circolazione di aria calda; il laconicum, antenato della sauna e il calidarium, con pareti rivestite da lastre marmoree.
La parola quindi agli addetti ai lavori: gli Architetti Forgione, Di Lillo e Spinosa ci raccontano l'importanza dell'intervento.

POMPEII (source Wikipedia):
Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
Archaeologists believe that the town was founded in the 7th or 6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans. It came under the domination of Rome in the 4th century BC, and was conquered and became a Roman colony in 80 BC after it joined an unsuccessful rebellion against the Roman Republic. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was estimated at 11,000 people, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, a gymnasium, and a port.
The eruption destroyed the city, killing its inhabitants and burying it under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens. The site was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599 and broader rediscovery almost 150 years later by Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre in 1748. The objects that lay beneath the city have been preserved for more than a millennium because of the long lack of air and moisture. These artefacts provide an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city during the Pax Romana. During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed archaeologists to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.
Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.
Terme Stabiane - Scavi di Pompei
L'entrata principale su via dell'Abbondanza conduce in un ampio cortile.
A sinistra si trova la piscina. mentre a destra un porticato dà accesso alla parte maschil articolata in apodyterium (spogliatoio), con adiacente tepidarium ( per i bagni di temperatura media) e poi il calidarium ( per i bagni calddi).
Il riscaldamento era assicurato da un sistema di tubazioni nelle pareti e doppi pavimenti che facevano circolare l'aria calda proveniente dalle fornaci e da bracieri mobili.
La parte femminile, a ridosso dii quella maschile era allo stesso modo articolata in apodyterium, tepidarium e calidarium, ma il tutto era più piccolo e privo di ricche decorazioni che caratterizzano la parte maschile.
le donne entravano da una porta separata, sulla quale stava scritta Mulier (donna), posta nell'angolo NO del cortile che si apre su via Lupanare.
La separazione tra i due sessi era pratica normale nel mondo antico.
Le terme che risalgono al II secolo a.C. sono tra le più antiche che conosciamo nel mondo romano

Pompei - Palestra dei Iuvenes e Anfiteatro romano - Roman Amphitheater in Pompeii
Scavi archeologici di Pompei (Napoli) - L'anfiteatro romano di Pompei è un anfiteatro di epoca romana, sepolto dall'eruzione del Vesuvio del 79 e ritrovato a seguito degli scavi archeologici dell'antica Pompei: è uno degli edifici, nel suo genere, meglio conservato, nonché uno dei più antichi al mondo.
L'anfiteatro fu costruito intorno al 70 a.C. dai duoviri Gaio Quinzio Valgo e Marco Porcio ed era utilizzato per giochi circensi e combattimenti tra i gladiatori; queste parate, talvolta pubblicizzate con graffiti sulle facciate delle case. Palestra dei Iuvenes, sulle pareti di fronte gli affreschi ritraggono atleti, lottatori, un saltatore con i manubri, il giudice della gara, il Ludi Magister, che reca in mano la benda, ovvero il premio per l’atleta vincitore. Questo grande ambiente faceva parte di un impianto termale maschile databile al I sec d.C. e posto in una zona panoramica della città che si apriva scenograficamente verso il mare. Nella zona della fornace che riscaldava i bagni furono trovati molti oggetti in argento, per un totale di 3 kg, e due tavolette cerate avvolte nella stoffa che ci raccontano del commercio di due schiavi.
