Baths of Decius, Roman thermae on Aventine Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Baths of Decius occupy a complex measuring 70 by 35 meters, featuring heated rooms, bathing chambers, and an apse at the southern end.
Emperor Decius constructed these public baths in 252 CE, which later underwent restorations by Constantius and Honorius following damage from Alaric's invasion.
The baths contained green basalt sculptures and sleeping Endymion artworks, now displayed in the Capitoline Museums, reflecting Roman bathing and artistic traditions.
The remains of the ancient complex are located between Santo Alessio and Santa Prisca churches, beneath the current piazza del Tempio di Diana.
The structure includes earlier remnants with painted stucco imitating marble and opus quasi reticulatum dating from the second century BCE.
