Answer:
The center piece of the Great Bath was the pool, a sunken rectangular basin approximately 12 × 7 m and 2.4 m deep” (Mays 2010). The bath has an inner lining of burned brick, followed by a layer of bitumen, and then puddled clay between two brick walls, in order to prevent water-logging (Webster, 1962).
