they are for the most part of the common types of cooking pots which lasted for centuries.
Finally it is interesting to note how the architect utilized the terrain to its greatest advantage. Some baths in north Africa are laid out in straight lines beginning with colonnade and proceeding to frigidarium, tepidarium, and calidarium, in that order. The architect of our baths had a different problem for he could not set the bathing establishment out in a straight line, for if he did, there was not enough room to build it to the desired scale. Instead, he placed his colonnade and frigidarium roughly in a straight line and then turned his tepidarium and calidarium at right angles. By doing so, he was able to situate the calidarium in the south west corner and to bring the whole establishment under the protection of the summit of the hill. In addition, it may have meant that the water from the reservoir which occupied the top of the hill would flow by gravity into the baths.
