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.
1 Use a large pot for stews. 2  The Romans used iron cauldrons but there's a good reason we don't tend to anymore â they're heavy ! A large casserole can also be used as a Roman oven. 3  Use a frying pan (fretale or sartago) for cooking fish and frying vegetables.
