The Baths of Diocletian (Latin: Thermae Diocletiani, Italian: Terme di Diocleziano)(Submitted on March 4, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)were public baths in ancient Rome. Named after emperor Diocletian and built from AD 298 to 306, they were the largest of the imperial baths. The project was originally commissioned by Maximian upon his return to Rome in the autumn of 298 and was continued after his and Diocletian's abdication under Constantius, father of Constantine.Photographed by James Hulse, March 1, 20242.
