Dome Section with Oculus (Roman Bathhouse and Palaestra)

A 5.3 m dome on a low drum with an open oculus at the crown: a coffered shell of five rings on a moulded cornice, the eye ringed in marble. It is a section for capping a hot room, and the oculus is a real hole through the shell, so a scene under it is lit rather than sealed.
