The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy were Roman public baths, or thermae, built in Rome between AD 212 and 216, during the reign of the Emperor Caracalla. The extensive ruins of the baths have become a popular tourist attraction. The bath complex covered approximately 13 hectares (33 ac). The bath building was 228 meters (750 ft) long, 116 meters (380 ft) wide and 38.5 meters (125 ft) estimated height, and could hold an estimated 1,600 bathers. The Caracalla bath complex of buildings was more a leisure centre than just a series of baths. The "baths" were the second to have a public library within the complex. Like other public libraries in Rome, there were two separate and equal sized rooms or buildings; one for Greek language texts and one for Latin language texts.
"The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The complex is a very well-preserved Roman site of public bathing."

The Baths of Caraculla were commissioned by Caraculla to be build on the Via Nova, just a little way from the Via Appia, just beyond the Porta Capena. Many travelers would have passed by, if not have visited, the Baths of Caraculla. The baths were restored under Theodoric, but were probably rendered useless when the Goths cut of the water supply to Rome during their invasion. The baths have been named a marvel of Rome, as well as have been excuvated several times. The most notable excavations took place in the early 1900's. see the bibliography
