The Pompeii archaeological site
said Friday that a large thermal bath complex has been uncovered
at the ancient Roman city buried by 79 AD eruption of Mount
Vesuvius.
The find was made during excavations of a domus, a private town
house, in block (insula) 10 of the Regio IX area of Pompeii.
Experts said the complex, which is connected to a banquet hall,
is one of the largest and most sophisticated thermal baths found
at a Pompeian domus.
The few other examples of such baths include those at the House
of Julia Felix, the House of the Labyrinth and the Villa of
Diomedes.
