TEPIDARIUM

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 636 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TEPIDARIUM , the
term
  given to the warm (lepidus) bath-room of the Roman baths. There is an interesting example at Pompeii; this was covered with a semicircular barrel vault, decorated with reliefs in stucco, and round the room a
series
  of square recesses or niches divided from one another by
Telamones
 . The tepidarium in the Roman thermae was the
great
  central
hall
  round which all the other halls were grouped, and which gave the key to the plans of the thermae: it was probably the
hall
  where the bathers first assembled prior to taking the cold bath or passing through the various hot baths,of Caracalla, the Farnese Hercules, and the Toro Farnese, the two
gladiators
 , the sarcophagi of green basalt now in the Vatican, and numerous other treasures, were found during the excavations by Paul III. in 1546, and transported to the Vatican and the museum at Naples.
