Légende

Baths of Caracalla - Rome, 1850. 'The Baths of Caracalla...are situated at the other or eastern side of the gate of St. Paul, between the Aventine and Celian hills, in the direction of the Gate of St. Sebastian. They were built, or rather their erection was begun, and in great part finished, between the years 212 and 217 of the Christian era, by the Emperor Caracalla Antoninus, and their completion was effected in the two reigns immediately succeeding. This vast establishment originally consisted of a large courtyard, surrounded on its four sides by a double row of chambers and porticoes. The inner quandrangle is all that now stands erect, but the vast dimensions of the outer can be traced by the remains of the brickwalls, which are still, in many instances, some two or three feet above the ground'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
