| Name: | Panayia Bath | |
| Description: | The Late Roman bath complex consists of four rooms; an entrance hall, an apodyterium (undressing room) that also served as a frigidarium (room with cold bath tubs), a tepidarium (warm room without tubs) and a caldarium (room with hot bath tubs). The frigidarium contained two baptisteria (tubs), while the cruciform caldarium had two warm baptisteria supplied with water through lead pipes. The water was fed from a tank to the west, heated by a testudo (literally a “tortoise” but in this context a bronze device for maintaining the heat of the water). The tepidarium and caldarium both had hypocausts supported by andesite pilae. The Panayia bath dates to the mid-6th century A.D. | |
