The Antonine Imperial Baths were built during the reign of the Emperors Hadrien and Antonin (145-162 AD) and were used up until the sixth century AD. The baths served hygienic purposes, but the opulent surroundings provided space for social interactions. The baths included pools with water of different temperatures. The caldarium was heated from below and the frigidarium was unheated.
