New Pompeii excavation reveals a large private thermal complex built 2,000 years ago

  • Archaeologists have discovered one of the largest and most intricate thermal spa complexes at the archaeological site of Pompeii, which could accommodate 30 people and features multiple heated rooms and a large pool in the cold room.
  • The thermal complex is connected to a banquet hall, suggesting it was used for large gatherings and celebrations, according to the Pompeii Archaeological Park.
  • The discovery is part of ongoing excavations in Region IX of Pompeii, where other significant finds, like a bakery and decorated rooms, have also been made.
  • The site will eventually open to the public after restoration, as the owner likely used the baths to impress guests and display social status, according to Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the archaeological park's director.
