Q1: How did the Roman kind of central heating work?

[Answer]

The Romans liked their comforts and they invented a special way of keeping warm.

They brought this invention with them from Rome, but they needed it more often in Britain, which they found to be a rather cold place.

It was called the hypocaust system and it used hot air that circulated in spaces under the floors and in the walls.
