View looking east at the main pool of the Roman Hot Bath in the Turkish city of Sarıkaya. The pool measures 76 x 42 feet and is 4.5 feet deep. Note the two-story display wall on the far (east) side of the pool. Probably statues (of Emperors, City Elite, and/or Deities?) were placed in them. The pool was built in the second century AD and was used in the Byzantine, Selcuk, and Ottoman periods.
Water bubbles out of the ground into two collecting pools behind the display wall at a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Notice the excavation of structures that surrounded the pool.
