Bathing culture in the Roman period Themed guided tour During the guided tour, in addition to visiting a number of other buildings, students can take a close look at one of the public baths and a private bath suite in the archaeological park, and compare the two. They can also see or even hold in their hands replicas of objects once used regularly in the baths. They can compare the pools and ‘wellness’ facilities of the past with those of today, and find out how underfloor heating systems worked, what Romans had to look out for in the hottest room of the baths and what a trip to the toilet would have been like back then.
