According to the inscription, the complex is dedicated to Emperor Hadrian and his wife Sabina and was built on the occasion of their visit to Laodicea in 135 AD on behalf of Gargilius Antiquus. The complex, located above the stadium, was built with cut travertine blocks of excellent craftsmanship. The complex measures 133x75 m and has the typical regional layout of "cascaded double baths". It also has connections to the stadium in the south and to the Agora in the north. |
