Originally part a Roman residential district in the 1st century A.D. it was later transformed into a large bathhouse in which the inhabitants of the Imperial Residence City of Augusta Reverorum of the 3rd and 4th centuriues enjoyed the comforts of Roman bath culture.
The ruins were rediscovered in 1987 when a project was started to build an underground car park. By 1994, the entire site had been excavated by the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier.
A guide to the ruins in English can be purchased at the ticket desk. It is strongly recommended to buy it as all other interpretive panels are in German only.
