This photo shows some of the columns along one side of the courtyard to the baths. The baths, in Roman Times, were a communal area for visiting, exercising, and getting clean. The women and men had separate areas. There was a large courtyard for athletic practice, swimming pools, cold water baths, hot water baths (similar to today's hot tubs), and areas similar to saunas. The head in the way is our grouchy tour guide.
