There was an excellent exhibit and steam rooms and changing areas all used by the ancient Romans as more of a social meeting place rather than a place of cleansing. Well worth the time and £’s.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

The windows of this wooden sauna (?) reminded me of those in You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
I would be interested in seeing more parallels for the interesting "architecture" in the Voynich illustration.

Register or Login to view.Marco, I can't remember the name of it right now, because I looked at hundreds of medieval spa locations, but there was a natural spa somewhere in Italy or central Europe that had parts of it built up in Roman and medieval times with local stones so that it resembles a number of the VMS pool pages and it also, at one time, had a building with arched windows (which is described in old books but which no longer exists).
Modern spas have been built over some of these natural spa areas (especially the ones with thermal pools), so many of them have been completely obliterated.
The one I'm thinking of was next to the shore across from the natural and man-made pools and it's still fairly natural.
