Rome: Baths of Trajan and Titus (1756 etching)

Rome: The Baths of Trajan and Titus (Piranesi 1756)

Piranesi drew this large ruin, now identified as the Baths of Trajan, showing the entranceways (A), vaulted apses which possibly included libraries (C), and a central Calidarium or hot bath area (D). The Baths of Trajan were built in AD 104.
At right (B), a lower series of rooms labelled as the House of Titus (Casa de Tito) were actually rooms from the underlying Domus Aurea of Nero, built in AD 64-68.
