The archaeological area in the street “via delle Terme” displays the remains of the north-eastern part of the city walls and of a city gate, together with those of some residential buildings of Augustan times and of some public baths from the early Empire.
The walls (A) were built in the second half of the I century B.C. They lean on a thick net of big poles and they are made of concrete covered by bricks. In the southern part of these walls there is one of the minor city gates (B), with a single passage crossed by one of the city roads. At the beginning the doorway was flanked on its city side by a forepart. Later on two squared towers were added and it is thought that they also had a storing function. Of these, the northern one is still conserved, including some steps and its inside bricks floor.
The public baths (C, D) were built between the end of the II and the beginning of the III century A.D. to the detriment of the city walls, which were partially demolished. The core of this building are two rectangular rooms with apses on their eastern sides and with hypocausts under the apses. They have been interpreted as “calidarium” (hot bathing room, C) and “tepidarium” (warm bathing room, D). The “calidarium” was about 100 squared metres and had marble slabs floor and fresco painted walls with athletes images.
