During the later part of the Late Bronze Age (c. 1200 B.C) the first bathroom and bathtubs of clay and limestone appear in urban centres in Cyprus, as a result of influences from the Aegean. During the classical period (5th century B.C.) bath-rooms of cold and hot water appear in Cyprus, particularly in the Palace of Vouni, about five hundred years before they became popular in the Roman world. |
