As you enter you are overwhelmed by the lavish decorations of the baths. 
The precise yet fluent and graceful lines of the bath reaffirms your faith
in god.  The easy gliding pose and the mood of spiritual serenity bespeak
highly of Diocletian and his construction methods.  Above the circular bath
is a high dome, allowing the warmth of the sun to help heat the pools during
the summer nights.  Otherwise, at night and winter, furnances keep the pool
water temperature just above 100 degrees.  A small walkway leads to another
warm pool to your north, and the bath exit is to your south.  Tall decorated
walls to your east and west help insolate the warmth of the room.
