The Roman balaneio (baths), located in the Zappeion district, is designed on a specially leveled area 21 meters wide, between two large walls in length and height, carefully built, which incorporated older architectural elements into their masonry. It continues both to the east, into the National Garden, and to the west, onto the Amalia Avenue pavement, and includes two chambers with hypocausts, two hearths (praefurnia) and nine cisterns. The largest room has 15 hypocaust columns, sometimes cylindrical, sometimes rectangular, and partitions.→
