The area set off by wooden posts was the location of the entrance and of the changing room of the bath-house. The entrance was at the left. [The Romans' term for the changing room of their bath-house, "apodyterium", is a straight borrowing of the Greek word for the same thing: ἀποδυτήριον – an "undressing room", from ἀποδύω, "to strip off, undress".]
