- Rome, Natatio of the Baths of Caracalla
These baths, whose official name
was Thermae Antoninianae, were located along the Appian Way. Their construction was long and laborious;
initiated by Caracalla in 212 AD, were inaugurated by him in 216 AD.
Roma, Natatio delle Terme di Caracalla.
Queste terme, il cui nome ufficiale era
Thermae Antoninianae, si trovavano sulla Via Appia. La loro costruzione fu lunga e laboriosa: furono iniziate
da Caracalla nel 212 d.C. e da lui inaugurate nel 216 d.C.
Io sono Italiana! La ricostruzione è perfetta! Bravi!! Bellissimo!!
Rome in its prime looks like a paradise
They had some nice buildings but they were still dirt poor all around the pretty stuff the emperors built
sure does
Its amazing what they would build in those times with the tools they had
It looks very sterile in this video, but in reality bathhouses were a cesspool for diseases and mold

Precisely.
Never forget that we have the benefit of healthcare, disinfectant and advanced science.
As cool as Rome is, they were heavily limited in what they could do, and I’d never choose their baths over my own.
I'm from Canada but spent about 2 weeks in Rome mainly focused on the ancient ruins etc. The Baths of Caracalla was one of my favourite areas, and I thought it was such a shame that most tourists miss out on this site. You get an amazing sense of the grandeur of it all, especially once you realize that the gigantic ruins that still remain had a roof over the entire entire... We hardly build buildings that large today, and what we do build would crumble in 100 years if not maintained.
Can we raise funds to build one?
So you forgot one more time a main detail: Roman statues were painted.
The day you can create a video like this will be the day when you are allowed to criticize; meanwhile just open your eyes and shut your mouth.
@@gerardosalazar161 serás tonto...
Not all of them were. Allowing plain white Marble was not uncommon, especially after the first paints washed away.
not to mention the fact there are women in the baths.
@@gerardosalazar161 👏👏👏
Ive visited the baths in Rome today, and I miss the waterfalls that actually came down from the statues next to the pool. Also the wall had niches with a triangle tops but also round ones.
marvelous...!
It is beautiful, but rather scary...very quiet ...? Thanks for the rare & interesting video .
MARAVILLOSA ARQUITECTURA NADA QUE VER CON NUESTRA EPOCA SIN ESTILO SOBERBIA Y MEDIOCRE. ESTA GRECIA MADRE DE LA ARQUITECTURA ROMANA Y SUPERIOR MUY SUPERIOR A LA ROMANA..........................DE CHILE
I'm North African Berber & very proud ✌
Proud of what? Caracalla?? The guy was a monster
Magnificent
why dont we have such splendors today? modern architecture is just boooooring!!
Salvatore Escoti Right? I would love the government to invest our tax money into something beautiful iconic like this. Not dams that destroy nature and other useless projects
Salvatore Escoti j
Sure do and then some. They are just different in beauty and sophistication. Have you visited New York, Paris, London etc? Please do and see the beautify
clarence, not at all. Paris is a city museum. Most of the architecture you see dates to napoleonic era and before. Anything that is somptuous is not from the 20th century. There are however modern building in Paris noticable for being execrable and eyesores hated by Parisians and tourists alike. So don't speak nonsense Salvatore raised a valid point.
Why ? here is why because the state has become a vassal of banksters. We live in a degenerated era where the balance of power is wrong and lies in private hands of a global small elite who monopolises the control of capital and the control of the media. As for politicians they are simply bought and forced puppets. See what happens when a politician doesn't bend to them he will be demonized by them over the air waves. The people have been screwed for the last two centuries, more since WWII. Most of the evil is in banksters and those who invented the current system of absolute evil finances that enriches them and create a system of rent on life for the 99% rest of us. The mediacrass is their tool of mind control from birth. There is no possible exit to this situation without starting over with a clean slate. Off course they will use everything in their usurpated power to resist being removed from power. Read history and wonder why those people who specialise in usury lending and evil finance are always from the same group of people that have been ejected from dozen of kingdoms and countries from antiquity to the middle age to the times of colonisations and intercontinental travels. Why the same group always ? They tried to erase their historical tracks. As Abraham Lincoln said : "You can fool all the people for some time and you can fool some people all the time but you cannot fool all the people all of the time."Only this time they have parasited our civilisation deeper than ever before. The only way they would be defeated is the crash of the monetary system and the return of power to those people producing real products like small farmers and not banksters and wall tricksters who produce toxic financial instruments to enrich themselves while enslaving the entire society to them.
Peak civilization.
Is magnificent
My Boss have shared me this link... It is very interesting to watch.
The bath was roofed, not an open top. It gets real cold in Rome in winter
This was the _natātiō,_ or open air swimming pool. The other rooms were closed, but not this one.
@@Thelaretus wow, how did you get those amazing diacritical marks into the word natātiō??? I didn't believe it was possible on youtube. do tell, pls
How did they manage to keep bath/pool water clean?
Sabi ng teacher ko panoorin ko daw to
same sis
Same here!
same girl
Same 🙄
😂😂😂😂
Oh yeah i like it
Do you have to put that chronometer on top ?!
I hate it.
calm Ladies & IT Boys
How do people know what paintings and statues were used on display for these ancient baths?
we usually find them or fragments of them, or there can be texts that describe the sumptuous decors, how it was made and how long it took, etc.
remetstonpantalon wow that is impressive !
Also, some elements have been reused and their origins tracked or documented, like the columns in Santa Maria In Trastevere. Marvellous
Muitoooo lindoooo
??????????

@@Thelaretus Então você pode me dizer o que isso significa? Não consigo encontrar no Google Tradutor
can the video run 4K?????
I wonder how they kept the water clean. there wasn't chlorine or filters back then
they used settling basins, The basins would slow the water down. As it slowed, the impurities or the load, as it's called, dropped out of it. That would remove some of the sand and other impurities.
They had running water from aqueducs in large cities. The water could not get dirty as it was perpetually renewed.
Chlorine is a xenoestrogen. I wouldn't swim in a chlorinated pool in the 21st century before swimming in this one.
So we’ve improved how exactly?
Misleading title. This is just the natatio.
Sium
It looks like Jaquen Hgar temple in GOT
Atemberaubend.
In orient part of empire we call them hamam حمام
sent by black Cesar
Ah yes American identity politics at their finest and now sent back in time 🙄
Cool but lets be honest we all know that water was rancid and dirty....
Nothing has changed in 2000 years..the rich are still ravishing the poor and unfortunates in society.. Anyways, baths are beautiful - much bigger than my tiny bath
These were public.
@@budmeister except for the massive slave population that had to keep the fires going underneath the pools. It was a sure sign of roman decline that they needed such a huge slave population and foreign army to maintain their empire. Rome during this time was to some extent similar to Manhattan, to live there you had to be privileged because of the cost. Now later the rich would flee east and rome would become a city of poor. Romans failed to take up arms and do the heavy work long before the empire eventually fell. Probably the outcome of all empires that become so successful that the desire for growth through sacrifice is outstripped by the desire for leisure and pleasure.
@@budmeister as long as you were an entitled male, yes.
Может Рим достался римлянам от прошлых цивилизаций...?
Your timer on this video is really distracting.
I am so happy that he was of African descent :)
I'm so happy that he was of north African Berber descent , like me
Think you might want to read up on the bloke first. Caracalla was known as a tyrant and as a cruel leader...
I wouldn't be queuing up to claim him as an inspiration tbh ...
Sympa la salle de bain !
Was it necessary to show a bare-chested woman at 1:13? Nice video, but I can never show this to my students because of that.
It's an implied reference to a well-known greek relief called "Ludovisi Throne", the main panel depicting Aphrodite rising from the sea, conserved at the Museo Nazionale Romano. They didn't create anything mischievous. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludovisi_Throne
The last nude woman you can see at the end is taken from the "Turkish Bath" painted by Ingres.
In spite of its artistic homage, the depiction just makes this unusable by most school teachers. No child (nor administrator) is going to sit there and ponder the possible artistic allusions of the bare-chested lady. To them, it's just going to appear gratuitously erotic. It would have been better to explain the inference, or just leave it out altogether.
History, especially Roman history was dominated by nudity, and because of that fact, students aren't allowed to see it? it's no wonder most students don't learn much about history.
Roach - You missed the point entirely. It doesn't matter that it's art and you, or anyone else, approve. Administrators won't approve and that will have a bearing on teachers' employment. You can have fanciful beliefs about it to your heart's content, but it doesn't change the reality in which most teachers dwell.
From Italy. Most of ancient roman sculpture in Terme, was "naked men". I think that intelligent students have no problem with nudity in art (what about Renaissance art, and Venus of Botticelli?). In this video is missed one of the most important and incredible sculpture of ancient word: the "Toro Farnese", now in Museo Nazionale of Naples. The sculpture was inside the Terme of Caracalla. Was probably "a copy" of an greek sculpture.
Yes Black history to it's purest Black Emperors of Rome and their bathhouses
Are you insane in what universe are Europeans black take you're inferior complex out of here american.
