5 reviews of Baths of Diocletian

The classroom was a cistern

L'aula che era una cisterna

Un grande ambiente rettangolare, dalla lunga volta a botte: ecco la cosiddetta Aula XI che si trova all'interno del Complesso archeologico delle Terme di Diocleziano. E' una stanza particolare perché al tempo degli antichi serviva come cisterna per l'acqua con cui approvvigionare l'ampia piscina scoperta delle Terme. Tanto è vero che ha le pareti con intonaco impermeabile fino ad un'altezza di 5 metri. Oggi è scrigno di molti tesori diversi, tra cui il mosaico XL che mostra Ercole e Acheloo in lotta, in una scenografia floreale. L'eroe è riconoscibile con la sua clava e la pelle di leone. Il dio fluviale Acheloo è ripreso nelle sue trasformazioni prima in serpente poi in toro: l'opera è stata trovata nella Villa di Nerone ad Anzio e risale al III secolo dopo Cristo. Inoltre, in una parete c'è pure un mosaico di più piccole dimensioni che arriva da un'area sepolcrale con tanto di scheletro e un motto, quello dell'oracolo di Delfi "Conosci te stesso". L'illuminazione vedo-non vedo contribuisce a creare un clima ricco di mistero...

Moreover, in a c 'wall well as a mosaic of more small that comes from the burial area complete with a skeleton and a motto, that of the oracle of Delphi, "Know thyself". The lighting see-it helps to create a rich atmosphere of mystery ...

Near the Republic Square and Termini...

Près de la place de la République et de l...

Près de la place de la République et de la gare de Termini, au nord Est de Rome, se trouvent les thermes de Dioclétien. Pour rappel Dioclétien est un empereur romain ayant régné dans les années 200-300. A côté on trouve la basilique Sainte Marie des Anges et des Martyrs. Ces thermes sont certainement les plus grands construits à cette époque. On peut trouver également un palais qui lui est dédié mais à Split en Croatie, car Dioclétien est originaire de Dalmatie.
Near the Republic Square and Termini Station, north east of Rome, are the Baths of Diocletian. Reminder is a Roman emperor Diocletian who reigned in the years 200-300.

One can also find a palace dedicated to him but in Split, Croatia, as Diocletian was born in Dalmatia.
