SUDA'TIO, -ATO'RIUM. The sudatory or sweating-room in a set of baths (Senec. V. B. vii. 7. Id Ep. 51.), which was heated by flues, arranged under the flooring (suspensura), and sometimes also constructed in the walls of the chamber, when it was specially termed sudatio concamerata (Vitruv. v. 11. 2.), as in the annexed example (Sudatio/1.1) representing a set of baths, from a painting in the Thermae of Titus, in which the warm-water bath (balneum) and the sudatory form two separate rooms. But when both these departments, the water and the vapour bath, were comprised in a single chamber (caldarium), then the central part of it, between the two extremities, formed the sudatory, as explained s. CALDARIUM.
