Le Terme del Nuotatore in Ostia Antica

The Terme del Nuotatore is the only bath complex in Ostia of which it has been possible to reconstruct and date the entire building sequence on a stratigraphic basis thus far. The baths are also the oldest which are currently visible and may be visited at the site of Ostia Antica. The exhaustive study of this building, from the analysis of the phases to the reconstruction, lends itself to offer a methodological scheme of reference very useful for the teaching of university courses in Cultural Heritage, both of the first and second cycle, and it is for this reason that it was decided to propose an abbreviated and updated version of the full edition of 2013.
