The Baths of Caracalla Guide

by Marina Piranomonte, Gail Swirling (Editor), Sandra Ciuffini (Translator)

Just outside the ancient walls of Rome lie the extraordinary ruins of the baths built by the emperor Caracalla at the end of the second century AD. The sheer immensity of these public bathing facilities is breath-taking. This guide provides an introduction to what remains on the ground and also helps the reader imagine what the baths must have been like in their day.
