The Terme are the baths of Ancient [[Rome]], built between 104 and 109, and named after the Roman Emperor Trajan. Commissioned by the Emperor, the complex of baths occupied space on the southern side of the Oppian Hill on the outskirts of what was then the main developed area of the city, although still inside the boundary of the Servian Wall. The architect of the complex is said to be Apollodorus of Damascus. After being utilized mainly as a recreational and social center by Roman citizens, both men and women, for many years, the baths, in use as late as the early fifth century seem to have been deserted at the time of the siege of Rome by the Goths in 537; with the destruction of the Roman aqueducts the ''thermae'' were abandoned, and the whole of the now-waterless ''Mons Oppius''.

The Terme di Traiano (English: Baths of Trajan) is a landmark in the Antico District of Rome that was built upon the ruins of Nero's Golden Palace. In the early 1500s it was possible to access the Golden Palace from the Baths via at least one crawlspace; this allowed the Followers of Romulus to use the Palace as a lair.[1]

Database Entry

As with many of Trajan's projets, it's believed this massive leisure and bath-house was designed by Apollodorus. The structure was built atop a section of Nero's ruined Golden Palace, and was poetically intended for use by the commoners. In 537, the Siege of the Goths destroyed most of the Roman aqueducts and the Terme di Traiano were subsequently abandoned due to the loss of their water supply. Another public works project gone terribly wrong, but I'm sure throwing a few Christians to the lions in the Colosseo made up for it![1]
