the public baths of caracalla or antoninian baths (after the full name of the emperor caracalla) were built between 212 and 216ce | the original 10-hectare site was used by up to 8000 people daily while below ground hundreds of slaves sweated in a 9.5km tunnel network, tending to the complex plumbing systems | the baths remained in use until 537 when the invading ostrogoths cut off rome's water supply
