After finding the hypocaust (hypocaustum), a particular construction assembly for heating rooms and swimming pools, a classic type of thermal baths were built that consisted of a room with a moderate temperature (tepidarium), rooms for bathing in warm water (caldarium), a swimming pool with cold water (frigidarium), a locker room (apoditerium) and a sweat-room (sudatorium), etc.<\/p>\n\n
Besides its primary purpose as a bathing complex, these facilities were also the center of an intensive social and cultural life: Business meetings, organized exhibitions of paintings, poetry recitals and other such things were held at the thermae.<\/p>\n\n
In ancient Issae, the thermae could be found in the coastal part of the town, close to today\u2019s service station. They were built in the 1st century AD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5909,"template":"","istrazite-kategorija":[154],"class_list":["post-6766","istrazite","type-istrazite","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","istrazite-kategorija-ancient-monuments"],"yoast_head":"\n
