Terme di Buticoso
This privately-owned bath complex was built in around AD 110 and renovated a few decades later.
It was accessed through a long entrance hall with benches (A), decorated with paintings with plant motifs, which are repeated in the back room (B).
The heated rooms were in the western part: the mosaic floor of one of the hot rooms (C) depicts a nude male figure accompanied by an inscription with the name Epictetus Buticosus, who can be identified as the manager of the baths.
The calidarium (room for hot baths) preserves a mosaic with a sea scene (a Triton and a Nereid) and two marble-clad basins (E).
The water supply was guaranteed by a cistern equipped with a noria (water wheel), located in the adjacent Republican Sacred Area.
