It fills a gap in our knowledge of the city&#8217;s water management, a topic that has long been neglected by modern research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as the historical-geographical context is concerned, the Punic city of Solunto was founded on Monte Catalfano in Sicily in the 4th century BC. Archaeological finds show that this city was inhabited until the 3rd century AD, when it underwent a period of decline that culminated in its abandonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article can be downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontinus.de\/media\/pdf\/Polizzi_Solunto.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gli impianti termali: centro benessere di et\u00e0 romana &#8211; The thermal baths: wellness centres from Roman times<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice of thermal bathing is a characteristic feature of Roman civilisation, so much so that the buildings associated with the thermal baths were a essential element in all the cities of the empire, especially in the newly foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wherever they went, the Roman settlers brought with them a number of elements of their culture, and the practice of bathing was not to be missed. In many of the Roman cities in the provinces, springs of mineral or natural origin were abundant. For example, in the towns of Aix en Provence and Aix les Bains in France, Baden Baden in Germany and Bath in England. In all cases, these are towns whose place names already indicate the presence of baths. These were fed with natural thermal water or with artificially heated water from specially constructed hydraulic infrastructures (large water reservoirs or aqueducts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roman bathing culture is the further development of bathing practices that were already known in the Greek world. The first public baths spread in Rome as early as the 3rd century BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our member Giovanni Polizzi has published two very interesting publications: \u2018Solonte et l`eau &#8211; L&#8217;exploitation des ressources en eau dans la cit\u00e9 antique de Solonte\u2019 (\u2018Solunto and the water &#8211; The use of water resources in the ancient city of Solunto\u2019) and \u2018Gli impianti termali: centro benessere di et\u00e0 romana\u2019 (\u2018The thermal baths: wellness centres from Roman times\u2019).
