This heated pool (2nd c. AD) from the Baths of the Seven Sages preserves its hypocaust system, where hot air circulated beneath the floor to warm the water. Its sophisticated design reveals the wealth of Ostia’s elite and shows how engineering served comfort, status, and refinement in Roman urban life.
