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. |
