Bath complex ΙΙ 11Β at Anemourion displays the basic features of Late Roman baths of Cilicia and eastern Pamphylia; its interest lies in the arrangement of the three hot chambers in a row. The bath was probably part of the same building program as the adjacent bath complex ΙΙΙ 2Β, as a response to the need for gender-segregated baths. It probably dates, with some uncertainty, to the 3rd c. AD. |

Antioch on the Orontes (Byzantium), Palace |
|

The palace of Antioch was on the island of the Orontes River in the centre of the city. Its foundation goes back to the Hellenistic period, but it was built anew in the late 3rd century. Today nothing survives and any information we have derives from the description of Libanius, from a mosaic representation and from later descriptions and reconstructions.
