Largest Roman bathhouse complex in the Netherlands discovered in Nijmegen 

A spectacular archaeological discovery: in Nijmegen, the largest Roman bathhouse complex in the Netherlands has been excavated. The remains belong to the Roman city of Ulpia Noviomagus Batavorum, present-day Nijmegen, which was an important center in Roman times.

The bathhouse shows how rich and advanced Roman society in the Netherlands already was nearly 2,000 years ago. Roman bathhouses were not only places for washing, but also social hubs where people gathered for relaxation, sports, and social interaction.

The discovery connects well with the Roman history that visitors can experience at Archeon, from Roman buildings and crafts to everyday life in antiquity.
