Built in the 2nd century A.D., it
was repaired during the reign of Constantine
II(337-361 ). Oriented along an north-south
axis, it stands between the harbour and the
Gymnasium, and is one of the largest
structures in Ephesus, measuring 160x170 m.
and 28 m. in height. In the centre of the
large hall to the east is the frigidarium,
flanked on both sides by dressing rooms. The
frigidarium contains a pool, 30 m. in length.
Marble composite columns are set on piers 11m.
in height. Several statues were found there.
The Caldarium, to the west, is a spacious,
high-roofed building. Large numbers of statues
were found in the baths, and their bases
remain in situ.
