| Without hypocaust, mosaics or wall plaster, the stone building seems to have been a relatively low-status dwelling. |
|
| Elsewhere in the Vale of York, a villa was represented by hypocaust remains, with evidence of jet-working as well as iron slag. |
|
| Other thermal control elements are the galleries' hypocaust floors which are like raised office plates over a concrete slab. |
|
| In other respects, however, the building was relatively modest, being timber-framed, single-storey, and without a hypocaust. |
|
| The hot air flowing from furnaces in the cellar through the vents of the hypocaust went far to drive off the chill. |
|
| This was done by using a furnace and the hypocaust system carried the heat around the complex. |
|
| If his master lived in a cold climate, the first job of the day for a day would be to fire up the hypocaust. |
|
| Houses were also centrally heated by what was known as a hypocaust. |
|
| The concrete columns, imported from Holland, also house channels for the building's heating and ventilation system, which is based on the Roman hypocaust system. |
|
| Relics of what are called hypocaust heating systems from Roman times have been found in Germany. |
|
| This hypocaust served as the heating system for a marble-clad dining room in a luxurious home. |
|
| The heating system, the so-called hypocaust, was a particularly interesting feature. |
|
| A major innovation was the development of hypocaust, or indirect radiant, heating, by conducting heated air through flues in floors and walls. |
|
| Following St Johns Street opposite Newgate Street are public gardens containing columns, a reconstructed hypocaust and various building fragments. |
|
| The Basilica of Constantine at Trier has a well-preserved example of hypocaust heating, where the stone slabs of the floor are supported on short brick columns, creating a continuous heating plenum beneath it. |
|
| The feeling of warmth in a Biovivienda is similar to a hypocaust heating system, which heats walls and ceilings with low temperature water in pipes. |
|
| Also on display are the remains of the elaborate hypocaust heating system which served the sweat rooms. |
|
| Around AD 150 the villa was expanded and a heated bath block with hypocaust was added. |
|
| The Romans used the aqueduct to distribute water, the catapult to defend their cities, and the hypocaust to heat the Roman baths. |
|
| The Korean heated floor extends this stove to operate on a whole room, like a Roman hypocaust. |
|
|
|
| The remnants of a stove and hypocaust plates were found in the building, suggesting the time of use to be the 14th-16th century. |
|
| A hypocaust was an ancient Roman system of underfloor heating, used to heat houses with hot air. |
|
| The hypocaust was an invention which improved the hygiene and living conditions of citizens, and was a forerunner of modern central heating. |
|
| Building products included hypocaust tiles to support underfloor central heating systems, boxshaped flue tiles and also tegulae, the heavy flat roof tiles with a raised edge. |
|
| Roman artefacts are on display in the Roman Gardens which run parallel to the city walls from Newgate to the River Dee, where there's also a reconstructed hypocaust system. |
|
| An original hypocaust system discovered in the 1720s can be seen in the basement of the Spudulike restaurant at 39 Bridge Street, which is open to the public. |
|
| We also have the remains of the hypocaust from a bath house. |
|
| Cecilia in showing her martyrdom in a bathtub rather than the historically correct hypocaust, a room in a Roman villa with a space under the floor warmed by a furnace. |
