Baths of Caracalla - Rome, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Baths of Caracalla - Rome, 1850. The Baths of Caracalla...are situated at the other or eastern side of the gate of St. Paul, between the Aventine and Celian hills, in the direction of the Gate of St. Sebastian. They were built, or rather their erection was begun, and in great part finished, between the years 212 and 217 of the Christian era, by the Emperor Caracalla Antoninus, and their completion was effected in the two reigns immediately succeeding. This vast establishment originally consisted of a large courtyard, surrounded on its four sides by a double row of chambers and porticoes. The inner quandrangle is all that now stands erect, but the vast dimensions of the outer can be traced by the remains of the brickwalls, which are still, in many instances, some two or three feet above the ground'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome, as captured by an unknown photographer in the year 1850. The Baths, situated at the eastern side of the Gate of St. Paul, between the Aventine and Celian hills, were originally a grand architectural feat built under the reign of Emperor Caracalla Antoninus between 212 and 217 AD. The vast establishment consisted of a large courtyard surrounded by a double row of chambers and porticoes. Although only the inner quadrangle remains standing today, the immense dimensions of the outer can be traced by the remnants of the brick walls. This print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to ancient Rome during the 19th century. The Baths of Caracalla, a significant archaeological site and tourist attraction, continue to intrigue visitors with their rich history and architectural beauty. This print is a testament to the enduring allure of Rome and its ancient ruins, providing a window into the past for generations to come.
