Pores don't "open" or "close"
It's a myth.

History: initial text much better
Editor 'Raebrick' (inactive by now) introduced the entire paragraph here. Editor 'Truth Alone' (inactive by now) removed much of it, leaving a meaningless stump behind; his reason: "unsourced". However, the entire paragraph by Raebrick, both what Truth Alone erased and what he left standing, seems to be based on the source set at the end of the multi-sentence paragraph. The source is not accessible online, so I have to presume it contains the complete information. Does anyone have the book? Brill's New Pauly (2002), Vol. 2: ARK-CAS, page 254.

"Dubious" or "unsourced" tags
Poorly sourced at best: Link leads to photo showing arbitrary section of a probably round pool, with the only explanation being "Pompeii: Baths of the Forum". Is it really a frigidarium? Plus: not a RS. Btw, the photo from Bath is as "good" (shows a round structure), i.e. neither is a RS.
 * "circular plan"

Completely unsourced:
 * "with its small pool of cold water or sometimes with a large swimming pool (though this, differently from the piscina natatoria, was usually covered)."
 * "The water could be also kept cold by using snow."
 * "The frigidarium was usually located on the northern side of the baths."
 * "The largest examples of frigidarium were both in Rome: that of the Baths of Caracalla, located soon after the entrance, measures 58 x 24 m, and that of the Baths of Diocletian, covered by a groin vault."

I've done my bit, giving up now. Anyone else? Arminden (talk) 16:39, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
