About

Ad Quintum, also known as Stacioni Romak, was a Roman thermal complex and way station located near Bradashesh in present-day Albania. This site was strategically positioned on the Via Egnatia, a significant Roman road connecting Dyrrhachium and Apollonia with Byzantium. Built in the 2nd century CE, the complex included a modest-sized bathhouse featuring a Nymphaeum, frigidarium, apodyterium, tepidarium, calidarium, laconicum, and praefurnum. The site was inhabited until the 4th century CE, after which it was likely abandoned due to the development of nearby Scampa or reduced use of the road station. The well-preserved ruins, discovered in the late 1960s, reveal detailed architectural spaces and fine frescoes, offering insights into Roman engineering and daily life.
