Tepidarium
The Tepidarium is a warm room found in ancient Roman baths, designed for relaxation and socializing. It typically features heated floors and walls, creating a comfortable environment that helps prepare the body for hotter baths. The temperature in a tepidarium is usually around 30-40 degrees Celsius (86-104 degrees Fahrenheit), making it a pleasant space for visitors.
In Roman culture, the tepidarium served as a transitional area between the caldarium (hot room) and the frigidarium (cold room). It was an essential part of the bathing process, allowing bathers to acclimate to different temperatures while enjoying the company of others.
