The forum baths are near, you guessed it, the forum. It really easy to miss as it lacks the
grandeur and size of the late second century baths in Rome. The entrance is
actually down a small passageway from a normal looking door in the wall.
The interior is remarkably well preserved with the tepidarium
and the caldarium being the most incredible.
There was a crowd of people at the entrance to the frigidarium and I almost didn't go over and look. Glad I did though, the interplay of the circles and arches is quite lovely.
