Baths of Diocletian - National Roman Museum


The Baths of Diocletian (Thermae Diocletianae), the largest baths of ancient Rome, were begun in 298 by the emperor Maximian, named Augustus of the Western Roman Empire by Diocletian, and opened in 306, after the abdication of both.

They were located between the current piazza della Repubblica, piazza dei Cinquecento, via Volturno and via XX Settembre, in a large area where conspicuous remains are still preserved.

3D reconstruction of the grandiose system of the Baths of Diocletian, the largest in ancient Rome, was built between 298 and 306 AD. The building, in addition to the traditional environments with water tanks of different temperatures (calidarium, frigidarium and tepidarium), included a central basilica room, the outdoor swimming pool (natatio) and many other meeting rooms.
