The 1898 edition of Harper's Dictionary of Classical Antiquities provided illustrations envisioning the rooms of the Old Baths at Pompeii: Remains of Roman public baths[edit] Main article: List of remains of Roman public baths Thermae Et Balnea: The Architecture and Cultural History of Roman Public Baths.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9559.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9559.txt
