I frammenti di colonna, la base, e il capitello ionico appartenevano probabilmente al prospetto della natatio opposto alla facciata monumentale. Il capitello, databile tra la metΰ del IV e l'inizio del V secolo d.C. testimonia un restauro delle Terme avvenuto poco prima del loro abbandono.
The fragments of a column, the base and Ionic capital probably belonged to the front of the natatio opposite the monumental facade. The capital, datable between the mid-4th and early 5th centuries AD, provides evidence of the Baths' restoration shortly before their abandonment.
