In the Tepidarium, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema skillfully portrays a scene of relaxation and luxury within these grand structures. The noble lady of Constantinople depicted by Jean-Baptiste Vanmour showcases the fashionable Hammam shoes worn during this era. The Marine Bath House, captured in 1907, transports us to a time when these communal spaces were still in use. Valerius Maximus's depiction of a bathhouse from his work Facta et dicta memorabilia gives us insight into how these establishments were viewed in ancient times. In Frigidarium by an unknown artist from 1882, we witness the chilly atmosphere that awaited visitors upon entering this cold-water room. The Hammam-e Sultan Mir Ahmad bath house in Kashan, Iran is beautifully preserved and photographed today, reminding us of the architectural wonders that once stood there. Roman ruins with thermae depicted on canvas transport us back to the 18th century when such remnants fascinated art enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Santa Cesarea Terme village in Apulia offers picturesque views where one can imagine ancient Romans indulging in therapeutic baths. The Baths of Caracalla stand tall as a testament to Rome's rich history and engineering prowess. Once again, we are reminded of the magnificence that was achieved through these monumental structures. Whether it be through paintings or photographs like those taken at Hammam-e Sultan Mir Ahmad bath house or Roman ruins at Andelos and Navarre Spain; thermae continue to intrigue and inspire awe even centuries later. These historical sites serve as reminders of our ancestors' commitment to self-care and well-being while leaving behind enduring legacies for future generations to appreciate.
