Biblioteca

The Baths of Caracalla were the second largest of the Roman baths.
In addition to a frigidarium (“cold room”), a double pool tepidarium (
medium room”), and a caldarium (“hot room”), the complex also contained a public library. Completed in 217 C.E., the baths were still in use and in working condition until the Ostrogoth conquest in the 6th century.
