<p>Remains of a private Republican bath-house, consisting of a circular room with two semicircular niches, are preserved in the cellar of no. 111 Via Sistina, on the S slope of the *Collis Hortulorum. The mosaic decoration, wall-paintings and <i>opus incertum</i> construction date the building to <i>c</i>. 70 B.C. (Fiorini 56); its shape, size, fixtures and decorative motifs suggest it served as part of a private <i>balneum</i>, possibly associated with a residential villa (Fiorini 56-57).</p>
