The baths could be publicly owned – publica-built either by the state, in which case they were paid for by the exchequer, “fiscus”, or by the town. The towns had to fall back on their own resources to pay for the construction of their baths. This could occur by taking building money from the city exchequer or other wealthy people could have baths constructed at their own expense for use by the townspeople, or make a financial contribution to this end. The process of bathing involved three stages: the cold bath, the tepid bath and the hot bath. To heat the latter two rooms, their floors were supported on short pillars (hypocausts with praefurnia), creating an open space in which hot air circulated

Here was excavated a cluster of roman baths. Their entrance is in the west, under the Vas.Roufou St. The east side was next to an ancient road . Three building phases can be distinguished. The first one dated after the middle of the 2nd century A.D. and the second in the beginning of the 3rd century. It was then that serious alterations were done after destruction. In the 5th century two ceramic kilns were constructed in the spacious rooms of the baths which were in use still in the 7th century, and a third one of a metal worker. The third phase is dated in the Turkish-rule period.

The baths consisted of two wings. The south one had four adjacent rooms with a west to east arrangement and was surrounded by walls up to 1,10m width. The room 2, with dimensions 6,40m x 3,50m, is the natatio, the swimming pool. The water supply was provided by the next room 1 (7,20m x 7,10m) where there was a drainage well which channelled the water into the big pipe of the north wing. The north wing consisted of the central room 5 (8,45m x 8,40m) which was also a natatio before it was altered into a palaestra. This room was surrounded by six smallest rooms and extensive places with hypocausts (slow fire, running under the floor) of which the praefurnia are preserved under the stone floors.
