Aquae Cutiliae, Archaeological site at Cittaducale, Italy

The remains of Roman thermal baths stretch across four terraces with a central swimming pool measuring 60 by 24 meters carved into solid rock.

Emperor Vespasian died at these thermal springs in 79 AD, followed by his son Titus, making this location significant in Roman imperial history.

The springs near Lake Cutilia held religious importance for the Sabine people, who dedicated the waters to their goddess Vacuna and restricted access with fences.

Visitors can examine the preserved structures of the ancient baths, including the large natatio pool and the remains of water heating systems from the Flavian period.

The mineral waters created floating islands in the nearby lake through the petrification of plants, leading ancient writers to consider this spot the center of Italy.
