Everything about Frigidarium totally explained
A
frigidarium is a large cold pool to drop into after enjoying a hot
Roman bath. The
Caldarium and the
Tepidarium opened the pores of the skin. The cold water would close the
pores. There would be a small pool of cold water or sometimes a large
Swimming pool.
An octagonal example measuring over 5m across was excavated at Bax Farm, near
Faversham,
Kent. This had a large
brick conduit for supplying cold water. The walls were originally decorated with painted
plaster, and the floors with coloured
tesserae. This is the first example to be found in south-east
England. It had been suggested that the octagonal
frigidarium could have been used for
Christian baptism or
Jewish sacred bathing (Pitts, 2006).
