A museum at Hechingen-Stein in southwestern Germany features the ruins of a Roman villa, the Villa Rustica, occupied from the 1st century AD for about 200 years. The villa includes a bath located in the center of the walled property, and more than twenty rooms in the main building had a floor heating system. See the Virtual Tour for photos of the heating system, baths and latrine. |
