VALDES GARCIA, Hilda Julieta. De los baños romanos al temazcalli prehispánico: la interpretación de Vitruvio, V, 10 por Pedro José Márquez (1741-1820). Nova tellus [online]. 2008, vol.26, n.2, pp.251-270. ISSN 0185-3058.

As a result of the decree of expulsion issued in 1767 by King Charles III of Spain against the Jesuits, the Mexican Jesuit Pedro José Márquez went into exile. Once settled in Rome, he got engaged in a thorough study of ancient architecture, whereby he undertook to vindicate Vitruvius's work. He was very interested in the new archaeological explorations and took part in several excavation campaigns, being able to publish his own researches. This article deals with chapters XLII to XLVI from his work Delle case di città degli antichi Romani, secondo la dottrina di Vitruvio (Rome, 1795), where Márquez (based on De architectura, V, 10) compares the structure of the Roman laconicum with the pre-Hispanic temazcalli or "house of heat".
