Roman Bathhouse Discovery in Nijmegen
Description
Archaeologists in Nijmegen unearthed the largest Roman bathhouse ever found in the Netherlands, part of the thriving ancient city Ulpia Noviomagus. Luxurious details like marble walls, tiled floors, and painted plaster reveal opulence, while artifacts—including jewelry, coins, a Bacchus bust, and hundreds of hairpins—paint a vivid picture of Roman life. Coins from Emperor Postumus prove the area remained central well into the 3rd century. The city plans to preserve and display these finds under new buildings, with exhibits opening June 29.
