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.
Ancient Roman Aqueducts. Rome was the first civilization to use water so extensively in its cities. Romans had fountains, public and private baths, restrooms (latrines) and a developed sewage system.This was quite remarkable for the time.queducts were constructed to bring water from far away (often a spring) to cities and towns. The water would then be used to supply the fountains (that people used for water), the gardens, the public baths, the latrines and houses (as many houses had their own latrines and baths).
