Terme Romane

The excavations along Viale Roma in 2007 brought to light a complex building of Roman age. Building built in the second half of the first century AD, in which the public baths were recognized. Taking up a widespread pattern in the spa buildings, there was a courtyard, in the center of which was a large quadrangular basin and probably there was a porch paved with slabs of pink limestone.

They are in sequence: the dressing room, a small latrine, a cold room (frigidarium), a warm room (tepidarium), the sauna (laconicum) and the hot bath (calidarium). The supporting structures of the pavement that allowed the warm air to circulate by heating the rooms are still visible (hypocaustum system). By the second half of the third century A.D. the building was abandoned and later used for residential purposes. Alluvial events in the V-VI century .C. led to the abandonment of this sector of the vicus that was destined to a cemetery area.
