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.
