Roman Berytus (Roman Baths) are located in the middle of downtown Beirut, Lebanon between Banks Street and Capuchin Street. The remains of a Roman bath now surrounded by government buildings were found and conserved for posterity. ==Overview==
Roman Berytus Baths is an ancient Roman thermae or bath site inside the Roman city of Berytus. It was discovered in 1968-1969 and underwent major renovation in the mid-1990s. The archaeological ruin of one of the baths has been preserved and is occasionally used as a performance space, thus reflecting the ancient traditions of the site.〔Linda Jones Hall, ''Roman Berytus: Beirut in Late Antiquity'', Psychology Press, 2004〕 Roman Berytus had four major bath complexes (thermae). A heating system (hypocaust) located under the floor allowed the air to circulate between pillars of terracotta disks that heated the marble floor; terracotta pipes in the walls allowed the air to rise up to the ceiling. Water from the boiler fed the marble-tiled pools in the hot room (caldarium), and a large stone basin (labrum) contained cool water for the bathers’ use.
