ΑΡΓΟΣ - The Baths A

In imperial times, during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, the Asklipeio or infirmary was converted into a bathhouse, a public bathing complex which took over the arcade and the columned courtyard, while the buildings to the west were preserved. The large arched chamber was used as a place for public gatherings, like a basilica thermarum, the lobby of the baths. The visitors passed through the central chamber to reach the changing room, which was a long room with stone benches. From here they would move into the cool area of the baths, the Frigidarium, which was decorated with statues and columns in coloured marble. From the last cool room they moved into the three rooms of the warm baths, the Caldarium, which had an under floor heating system. The building complex included a palaestra to the west and a monumental stairway to the east. The Roman baths were in use until the 6th century AD.
