4. The Forum Baths (Terme del Foro) are a remarkably well-preserved public bath complex in Pompeii, located just behind the Temple of Jupiter. Built around 80 BC, they were the only public baths still operational at the time of the eruption in 79 AD. You can walk through the original sequence of Roman bathing: the Apodyterium (changing room), the Frigidarium (cold bath), the Tepidarium (warm room), and the Calidarium (hot room). The rooms feature high barrel-vaulted ceilings with intricate stucco reliefs and terracotta figures known as telamones.

About Pompeii

Pompeii is a Roman town near Naples frozen in ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, with streets, villas and frescoes preserved beneath the volcano.

Pompeii was a thriving Roman town when Vesuvius buried it under ash and pumice in AD 79. Excavation, begun in the eighteenth century, has uncovered paved streets with stepping stones, shops, bakeries, bathhouses and the forum. The amphitheatre, among the oldest Roman ones to survive, and the grand House of the Faun show the range of life, and plaster casts of the dead record the final moments of some residents.
