The Roman heating system was called a hypocaust. How did Romans heat their homes?Rich Romans liked to be warm and cosy. They had central heating at home, in villas and in public baths. The heating system was kept going by slaves, who kept a fire blazing in a furnace to heat warm air. The warm air moved around the building through spaces under the floors and between the walls.
We canât find an answer to that question as the solar Energy was not invented, nor discovered. The solar energy was used as a source of heat since the ancient man without no previous thinking. The Greeks and Romans built their houses facing the sun so they can save the amount of wood used for heating.
