Episode Synopsis "Baths of Caracalla"
Baths of Caracalla: 216 A.D., Rome. One of the most famous baths was built by the emperor Caracalla in the early part of the third century A.D. It sprawled out over 30 acres and had a bathhouse that measured750 feet by 380 feet. A huge central hall over 180 feet long and 77 feet wide was spanned with concrete groin vaults. In the Baths of Caracalla, a barrel vault ran the length of the central hall and was intersected at right angles by three shorter barrel vaults, creating the groin vaults. The use of these groin vaults enabled the builders to cover a very large area. It also allowed the placement of windows, which was not possible with barrel vaults requiring thick, solid walls.
