Balneum and balineum were used for the water bath, which every master of a family had in his house; balnea and balinea, for public bathing-places. All referred to baths artificially heated. "The cold bath and shower bath, therefore, and, in Pharmacy, the sand bath, water bath, &c. require a very different form of expression."Hora Subsec.

To procure sweat by dry heat.-A dry

bath.

*Therma signifies baths of water naturally hot; balnea, baths made hot by fire. Hence the phrase balnea mineralia is not correct.

† Lavatio also signifies a bathing vessel.

By the term balneum siccum, or dry bath, are meant, applications of dry heated substances (as hot air, sand, ashes, salt, &c.) to the skin to promote sweating.-But the term balneum is inapplicable to such, since Celsus evidently confines it to a water bath,-while under the head of "siccus calor," he includes arena calida, the laconicum, and the clibanum (lib. ii. c. 17). The terms Sudatorium, Laconicum, and Clibanum, were applied to different kinds of dry baths. The Sudatorium was a sweating-house. The Laconicum was a hot and dry room at a bath, and in which sweat was excited; it was, in fact, a Sudatorium. Clibanum was the name of a particular kind of oven among the Romans. As it is mentioned by Celsus, besides the Laconicum, or hot room at

the bath, he probably intends by it a stove placed in a common room so as to heat it. In the baths of the Romans there were five apartments: the eleotherium, the frigidarium, the tepidarium, the concamerata sudatio (calidarium or laconicum), and the balneum.

On the right is the eleotherium (aλeinтýpiov) where the oils and perfumes are kept in vases: next to this is the frigidarium (arodvтýpiov) or dressing-room: the third is the tepidarium: the fourth is the sudatory (concamerata sudatio), in which are seen the laconicum (so called from being first used in Laconia), a brazen furnace to heat the room, and persons sitting on the steps: the fifth is the balneum, with its huge basin (labrum) supplied by pipes communicating with three large bronze vases, called milliaria, from their capaciousness; the
