 | | The laconicum, even in baths of great dimensions, seems to have been often small, as many persons preferred producing the perspiration by exercise. |
| | For this purpose such thermae were provided with all the adjuncts of palaestra, xysta, ephebium, corycaeum, conisterium, sphaeristerium, peristylia, theatre, and other endless divisions, which augmented the imperial thermae of Rome to the size of moderate towns, but which have no existence at Pompeii. |
