The
Baths
Just behind the theatre, the foundations of the baths
have been excavated and “consolidated”. The presence of a small building (“atrium”)
in front of the baths is evidence that this was a public building. Careful
excavation (between 1977 and 1980) of the archaeological levels which, as luck
would have it, remained intact at this spot show that the baths were built soon
after the theatre but on a site which was already in use.
The same is true for the whole site, remains of the
refuse from a slaughterhouse, a pottery and a silo as well as numerous
dwellings, coins and fragments of pottery have been found.
Vandalism The last
two photos were taken at a few years interval, no further comment is necessary,
