| Similar to the Women's baths, almost nothing is visible today of the central baths. However, the site still remains unexamined in the ground. A small number of investigative
trenches from 1942-1943 revealed a symmetrical ground plan. These excavations also unearthed parts of black and white mosaics (image above). The only visible elements of the ancient central baths are the two portico walls (columned hall along the side of the road) at the access to the cloaca and an earlier basement. | ||
