THE THERMAL BATHS OF TRAJAN

The Piscine spa pool overlooks the colonnades of the frigidarium (cold bath). The wall bears a épigraphe in memory of the repression of the Jewish revolt by Emperor Trajan and the restoration of Cyrene by Emperor Hadrian. The earthquake of 365 destroyed the building that was replaced by adjacent Byzantine thermal baths in the south. The path to the exit climbs the hill to the east.
