Archaeologists have discovered a sumptuous private bathhouse - potentially the largest ever found there - complete with hot, warm and cold rooms, exquisite artwork, and a huge plunge pool.

It would be cool to visit a recreation of one of those old times spa places.

There are places like that in Spain, I went to one on the Camino, somewhere in Extremadura maybe. A long time ago now so the details are a bit fuzzy, but it was either a recreation or a restoration of one they found there. It was along a well known old Roman road with plenty of ruins around the place, very cool experience coming from a country that wasn’t inhabited by humans when the road was a major highway.
