I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Cyrene Baths was a bathhouse situated in the Roman city of Cyrene during the 1st century BCE. Designed by the engineer Vitruvius, it was popular amongst the citizens of Cyrene.
History[edit | edit source]
In 47 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa climbed to the top of the building in order to impress Esiocles and some other children in the city. Reaching the rooftop, he performed a Leap of Faith into a haystack in front of the bathhouse.[1]
The baths were also the site of the murder of a Cyrenean official Paulus Aurelius. Though Sminthos, an acquaintance of Bayek, was arrested for the murder, Bayek freed him and infiltrated the baths in order to investigate.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
- The location of the Roman baths being in front of the Apollonion of Cyrene is relatively accurate.[3] However, these baths were built in 98 AD making their appearance in the game anachronistic.[4] The game also inaccurately states that they were designed by Vitruvius who lived more than a century before their construction.
