A cutaway reconstruction drawing of Bearsden Roman Bath House, Scotland. Bearsden Roman Fort is one of around sixteen forts on the Antonine Wall, which guarded Rome’s north‑western frontier and controlled movement across central Scotland. Its well‑preserved bath house and latrine reveal soldiers’ daily routines, hygiene, and social life on this exposed boundary. This cutaway reconstruction drawing shows, from left to right: Changing room (apodyterium), Cold room and bath (frigidarium and piscina), Warm water room (tepidarium), Hot steam room and bath (caldarium and alveus), Boiler and furnace (praefurnium). Beneath the tepidarium and caldarium is the Hypocaust–a system of central heating in a building that produces and circulates hot air below the floor of a room.
