The Baths of Caracalla or Antoniniane constitute one of the greatest examples of imperial baths in Rome, still preserved for most of their structure and free from modern buildings.
The Archaeological Site is still preserved for most of their structure and free from modern buildings.
The Baths were built by the emperor on the Piccolo Aventino between 212 and 216 AD. (as shown by the brick stamps) in an area adjacent to the initial stretch of the Via Appia, about 400 m outside the ancient Porta Capena and just south of the venerated Camene wood.
These public baths were the most impressive ever built in the Roman Empire until the inauguration of the baths of Diocletian (306).
They mainly served the residents of the I, II and XII Augustan region (the whole area between the Celio, the Aventine and the Circus Maximus).
