In this plate, XXXIII, is represented a chamber with its roof entire, which is supposed, according to the reasons given in this work, to be the thermes of the women.

The darkness here observable perhaps may lead us to suppose that the other apartments were by no means well lighted when the roofs were perfect.

A figure is represented as in the piscina, or natatio, to show its existence.

The bench on the left, which appears so much out of true perspective, is really so placed on the spot. The wall on the left is exceedingly massive, the reason for which does not seem sufficiently explained, unless it were for the support of the arch on this outer side, which, on the inner, was buttressed by the other arched roofs of the thermae. There was also a reservoir of water above the vault, the weight of which might require additional support.

Below, to fil up the plate, are represented the two sides of a ticket of entrance. This was for a show of gladiators. It has been conjectured that the like existed in thermae, but with another device.
