Baiae: Terme di Baia, "Temple of Diana," part of the baths

Date

Circa 1910

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Italy

Although referred to as the Temple of Diana by 18th century scholars, this is part of a bath and villa complex.

Baiae was a Roman seaside resort on the Bay of Naples. It was especially popular from the Late Republican through Imperial eras, since the area provided hot mineral springs thought to be therapeutic. Various emperors and other wealthy Romans had villas there. In 1954 a large number of fragments of ancient plaster casts came to light; they had formed the infill of a cellar room in the so-called Baths of Sosandra. They point to the presence of an active workshop creating sculpture for the wealthy inhabitants. Most of Baiae is now under water in the Bay of Naples, largely due to local volcanic activity. The main part still above the water is the Terme di Baia, remains of a complex of villas and baths. The Terme complex lies on the hillside overlooking the modern town.
