Abstract

The Baths of Nero, or more accurately the Baths of Alexander (Thermae Alexandrinae) since they were completely renovated by Severus Alexander in the second quarter of the 3rd century A.D., were located N-W of the Pantheon and took up an area of 190 x170 m in between the modern Corso del Rinascimento (to the west), the Salita de’ Crescenzi (to the south), the Via delle Coppelle (to the north), and the Piazza della Rotonda (to the east). This huge complex, which remained in use until the 5th century A.D., was later almost entirely incorporated into Renaissance buildings, such as Palazzo Madama, Palazzo Giustiniani, Palazzo Cenci, and the churches of S. Luigi dei Francesi and of S. Eustachio. A monumental apse of the bath complex is still visible inside a courtyard accessible from the Piazza Rondanini, while other remains of it are preserved in the Pii Stabilimenti Francesi.
