This photograph from Housesteads (Vercovicium), in Northumberland, UK, shows the remains of a hypocaust, the impressive ancient Roman radiant heating system. What you see are stone pillars that would have held up a heated floor. Circulating around the pillars would have been the hot gases heated by an external furnace.
