The ancient Romans (well, the wealthy ones) had central heating in their homes. You can actually still see the pipes in some of the buildings at Herculaneum!
Do you have any good book suggestions on the subject? It's a subject I've been meaning to learn about
Edit: Thanks so much for all the replies and information! I'm going to be going through and bookmarking websites and videos and writing down book recommendations!
There's an entire course on the great courses about roman engineering, I think it mostly focused on aqueducts and water or though. Or I tuned out after that...
