The invention of central heating is often credited to the ancient Romans, who installed a system of air ducts called " hypocaust" in the walls and floors of public baths and private villas.
In Italy, the hypocaust is found only in baths, but in cooler climates, such as Britain's, not only baths also the living room and sometimes other rooms were heated.
The Greeks perceived the advantages of central heating, but it was the Romans who became the supreme heating engineers of the ancient world with their hypocaust system.
