The Baths of Caracalla (Italian: Terme di Caracalla) in Rome, Italy, were the city's second largest Roman public baths,(Submitted on February 3, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)or thermae, after the Baths of Diocletian. The baths were likely built between AD 212 (or 211) and 216/217, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They were in operation until the 530s and then fell into disuse and ruin.Photographed by James Hulse, February 27, 20242. A view of the Geometric Mosaic Pattern and Marker
