The Old Wall

The old wall of Vepasian Bath, also known as the ‘’Large Bath’’ due to being the larger of the two baths in Olympos, the building is understood to be built around 70 AD, during the reign of Vespasian, according to an epigraph that was discovered. (Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, master of the land and the sea, had this bath built down from its foundtions upon the recommendation of Gnaius Audius, his legate and praetor.) The frigidarium, tepidarium and caldarium sections of the building are still standing. Examining the architecture in these sections, it is understood that the building is of monumental scale.
