The methods used by the Romans for
warming their houses were clever. In
Rome itself artificial warmth may have
been brought rarely into use, though
the Italian winter requires fires at
times, but when the Roman took up
his abode abroad as the conqueror he
certainly lived in chilly climates. In
the country houses he built in England
he had carefully devised heating ar
rangements, which are called hypo-
causts. These are flues running I'M
der the tessellated floors Fires were
lit outside of the house, and the hot
air passed under the floors. To do
this much required knowledge of
the builders art, with the necessary
precautions against fire. Remnants Of
these hypocausts are found today in
England, built during the Roman oc-
cupatlOn.
