De la velele Colosseumului, la „piscinele zgomotoase”, pălării și umbrele / Remediile Romei Antice împotriva căldurii sufocante / Seneca era deranjat de băile termale: ”Oamenii care se aruncă fac un mare zgomot atunci când agită apa”

Ancient Romans had various methods to cope with heat, as detailed in Valeria Arnaldi's book. They used mobile canopies, known as 'velarium', to provide shade in theaters. Additionally, they enjoyed outdoor baths and sorbets made from fruits and snow. The Romans also had specific times for hunting shows to avoid the afternoon heat. The use of umbrellas and wide-brimmed hats was common, and public baths were popular social spots. These practices reflect how Romans sought comfort during hot summers, a concern that persists today.
