Stabian Baths, Roman thermal complex in Pompeii, Italy

The Stabian Baths contain separate sections for men and women, featuring changing rooms, cold pools, warm chambers, and hot rooms along a single axis.

Built around 125 BC at the intersection of Via dell'Abbondanza and Via Stabiana, these baths represent the oldest public thermal facility discovered in Pompeii.

The central palaestra served as a gathering space where citizens exercised and socialized before proceeding to the bathing chambers.

The complex utilized an advanced heating system with hot air circulating through hollow spaces under elevated floors and within the walls.

A circular laconicum with specialized steam rooms was added during renovations in 80 BC, enhancing the bathing experience with dry heat treatments.
