An interesting quote from Graham Webster`s "The Roman Imperial Army" page 204:
"In this respect civilization has regressed, since the classical method is far more healthy, bot physically and socially, and has survived in a much reduced from in the Turkish bath and can be seen better, perhaps, in the Finnish steam bath" (the Sauna)...
I can tell from experience that the sauna really gives extra boost working in the colder climates, like Hadrian`s wall, perhaps?
