Building Description
Monumental baths about 88 meters long and 40 meters wide were built in Flavian times in the north end of the city. Immediately after the entry came a large peristyle courtyard. Perhaps it was a garden but could also have been primarily a palestra. At the end away from the entrance and towards the baths proper was found the base of a statue.
