PLATE XXX.

CEILING OF THE TEPIDARIUM.

The vault of the tepidarium, being the
only one of any consequence remaining at
Pompeii, may be thought worthy of pre-
servation by means of this plate, for it will
probably soon fall, and no memorial of it
may remain.

A description of it seems unnecessary in
this place.

PLATE XXXI.

LACONICUM.

The laconicum or caldarium, correspond-
ing with the stufa of modern Italy, does not
equal the gorgeous display of the tepida-
rium, though the schola, if that term be ap-
plicable to the semicircular termination, has
not been neglected in point of ornament.
