Aquae Tarbellicae, Roman archaeological site in Dax, France

The archaeological site contains thermal baths, villas, and building remnants that demonstrate advanced Roman engineering and architectural techniques from ancient times.

Established between 16-13 BCE during the Augustan reform, this settlement became a central point for the Tarbelli tribe and Roman civilization in southwestern Gaul.

The excavated artifacts, including pottery and inscriptions, reveal the daily routines and social practices of inhabitants who utilized the natural hot springs.

Researchers and archaeologists continue investigations at the coordinates 43.7072°N, -1.0553°W, uncovering new evidence about Roman settlement patterns.

The thermal springs at this location attracted Emperor Augustus and his daughter Julia, establishing the foundation for Dax's current reputation in thermal therapy.
