Roman baths (thermae) were one of their finest civilising achievements. But how did the Romans heat the water, build such fancy structures and keep the temperature just right? And what business does an exercise area have in a bath house? Find out in this stage.

In this stage we will:

• spot the dative case for the different noun declensions;
• learn how to translate the dative case using the words 'to' or 'for';
• improve our translation technique, prioritising the words' endings, not their order.

Additionally, the aspects of Classical Civilisation covered in this stage are:

• the way baths were built and laid out by the Romans;
• the activities that took place in the baths.
