Frigidarium

A frigidarium is a pool of cold water that was used in ancient Roman baths. After spending time in warmer baths or saunas, visitors would dip into the frigidarium to cool down. This practice helped stimulate circulation and refresh the body. The frigidarium was typically a large, open space with a cold water basin or pool, often ornately decorated. Its purpose was both functional and luxurious, contributing to the overall bathing experience that combined relaxation, health benefits, and social interaction.
