About
Terme Taurine, also known as the Taurine Baths, is a large elaborate ancient Roman baths complex located about 4 km east of the city of Civitavecchia. They are also known as the Baths of Trajan as they may form part of Trajan's villa of Centumcellae nearby, due to their enormous size relative to the town and to their elaborate marble decoration. The limits of the site have yet to be explored which may clarify their history. The baths are now in an archaeological park.
