Ephesus Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Kids like the Baths of Scholastica because the many-roomed facility, built in the first century and enlarged in the fourth, makes the complicated Roman bathing ritual a reality. Bathers undressed in the apodyterium (dressing room), then soaked in the frigidarium (cold room) as well as the tepidarium (warm room), and then sweated in the caldarium (hot room). The public latrine with its row of side by side stone "toilets" always gets a giggle.
