Archaeological soundings beneath the road, dating to the early 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0century AD, brought to light a bath complex of the period of Claudius (AD 41-54) whose size is impossible to determine.<\/p>\n

The only portion still visible is a fine black and white mosaic presenting panels with depictions of weapons and geometrical motifs enclosed within a meander border.<\/p>\n

The central area is adorned with a panel containing depictions of dolphins, flanked by the personifications of the Provinces (Spain, Sicily, Egypt and Africa) and of the winds, symbolized respectively by women\u2019s heads and men\u2019s heads.<\/p>\n

The figurative motifs probably allude to the development of maritime trade between the provinces of the western Mediterranean and Rome following the construction of the port of Claudius.<\/p>\n
