Hi everyone,
In today's video, we gonna walk in The Park of the Antoninia Baths situated in Tunisia!
Originally built from 145 to 165 AD, primarily during the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, the Antonine Baths were among the largest baths to be built in the Roman world and were the largest such complex in North Africa.
The baths could cater for a multitude of visitors and contained several rooms and chambers standard to such ancient bath complexes, including the Frigidarium (cold room), Caldarium (hot room) and Tepidarium (hot bath). There was once also an enormous seaside swimming pool as well as a Gymnasium for physical activity.
The baths were destroyed by the Vandals in 439 AD, and the stone was reused by the Arabs during the construction of Tunis. Today, the ruins are relatively well-preserved, and it is easy to imagine the thriving landscape.
The Antonine Baths Today:
Although the baths would have once been many stories high, the remains that can be seen today are primarily of the lower levels only. Nonetheless, it is not difficult to imagine the scale and grandeur that the baths would have commanded from what is still visible.
To the southwest, a huge semi-circular construction was discovered with around 80 seats, which archaeologists first thought to be a theatre, before realising that it was, in fact, a communal latrine!
The fascinating ruins of the Antonine Baths are certainly worth exploring and, with the picturesque sea as a backdrop, are surrounded by natural beauty. The overgrown garden contains other remains such as Punic tombs and a tiny early Christian funerary chapel with a mosaic floor.
