\f1 \fs22 After the earthquake of 62 AD, the only baths still functioning in Pompeii were the small ones in the For
um, which were restored at the time and decorated with beautiful friezes of brightly colored \b \cf1 \ATXht19 stucco\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . This building had an arcaded court that also served as a gymnasium, a series of service rooms, and the three usual room
s for bathing, the \b \cf1 \ATXht6 frigidarium\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , \b \cf1 \ATXht20 tepidarium\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , and \b \cf1 \ATXht3 calidarium\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . Each of these had a different structure, though all were roofed with large barrel \b \cf1 \ATXht22 vaults\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , decorated with stuccoes and frescoes, and served by not very sophisticated plumbing systems.\par
