Roman baths

description: Color illustration by Tancredi Scarpelli of Roman baths from the book "History of Costumes of Peoples Throughout the Centuries" by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934. Many wealthy individuals had private baths at home but seldom used them, preferring instead to frequent the public baths, which served as social hubs fostering romances, business dealings, and the establishment of relationships and patronage networks. Visits to the baths were not permitted before sunrise or after sunset until Emperor Alexander Severus allowed them to remain open at night, provided visitors paid a surcharge, making nighttime access exclusive to the affluent.
description: Illustrazione a colori di Tancredi Scarpelli delle terme romane dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. Molti ricchi avevano il bagno in casa ma se ne servivano poco e preferivano frequentare le terme, luogo di ritrovo che favoriva la nascita di amori, la trattazione degli affari, lo stringere relazioni e clientele. Non si poteva andare alle terme prima del sorgere del sole né dopo il tramonto fino a quando Alessandro Severo concesse che rimanessero aperte anche di notte, purché i frequentatori pagassero un sovrapprezzo, quindi accessibile solo ai ricchi.

I bracieri romani erano di ferro o di bronzo e in inverno venivano trasportati da una stanza all'altra per il riscaldamento. Il secondo riprodotto è a forma di piccola fortezza, con quattro torri vuote agli angoli in cui si metteva a scaldare l'acqua che veniva estratta dal piccolo rubinetto laterale. Ogni torre aveva un coperchio sollevabile.

Circus Maximus
title: Circo massimo
subject: illustration
description: Illustration of Circus Maximus from the book "History of Costumes of Peoples Throughout the Centuries" by Paolo Lorenzini, Nerbini Publishing House, Florence, 1934. It was located between the Palatine and the Aventine hills and measured 370 by 40 meters. On one side, it was semicircular, while on the other, it was almost straight, where the entrances were located. At the ends, towers stood, belonging to prominent senatorial families. The charioteers had to complete seven laps around the circus. In the central axis of the circus, there was a barrier on which statues of gods, small altars, a column supporting the statue of Victory, a replica of a temple, and an obelisk dedicated to the Moon were placed. The seating for the common people was separated from that of the senators and knights.
description: Illustrazione del Circo Massimo dal libro "Storia del costume dei popoli attraverso i secoli" di Paolo Lorenzini, Casa Editrice Nerbini, Firenze, 1934. Era situato tra il Palatino e l'Aventino e aveva una larghezza di 370x40 m. Da una parte aveva forma semicircolare, dall'altra quasi rettilinea, dove c'erano gli ingressi. Alle estremità si ergevano torri appartenenti a importanti famiglie senatorie. I corridori dovevano fare sette volte il giro del circo passando al di fuori delle "metae", le colonne alle estremità del campo. Nell'asse mediana del circo, che collegava le due metae, c'era un tramezzo sul quale erano poste statue di dèi, piccole are, una colonna che sosteneva la statua della Vittoria, il simulacro di un tempio e un obelisco consacrato alla Luna. I sedili per il popolo erano divisi da quelli per i senatori e per i cavalieri.
