Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: A hypocaust (Latin hypocaustum) in the Roman Baths, Bath, UK. A hypocaust is an ancient Roman system of central heating. The word literally means "heat from below", from the Greek hypo meaning below or underneath, and kaiein, to burn or light a fire.
Nederlands: Hypocaustum in de Roman Baths, Bath, Engeland. Het Hypocaustum is een Romeins systeem van verwarming, dat werd uitgevonden omstreeks de 2de eeuw v.Chr. door Gaius Sergius Orata die zijn visvijvers ermee verwarmde.
Het hypocaustum bestaat uit een verhoogde vloer die van beneden wordt verwarmd door middel van een oven. De vloer rust op kleine bakstenen pijlertjes van ongeveer 60 cm hoog. Daardoor kan de warmte zich onder de vloer verspreiden. Ook zijn de muren van holle bakstenen gebouwd zodat de warmte zich ook daardoor kan verspreiden. |
