thermae

It leaves on the right the great Thermae of Constantine, of which the Austrians have cleared out the south-east part.

Ruins of the thermae of Caracalla and of Titus are still standing.

One (Maxentius) is entirely a vaulted structure and in form resembles the great halls of the Roman Thermae.

Within the town are remains of thermae on the north of the Via Appia and of a theatre opposite, on the south.

In the great Roman thermae (baths) they were of large size, and like apses were covered with a hemispherical vault.
