Abstract
Salamis was one of the most prosperous cities of Cyprus during the Roman period. The city’s wealth was evidently derived from its location on a strategically important point within the eastern Mediterranean trade network. Archaeological excavations resumed at Salamis in 1998 under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Coskun Ozgunel from the Ankara University increased our archaeological knowledge on this important city. These archaeological excavations conducted by the Turkish team currently concentrate on the Roman remains at Salamis. Among these Roman remains, attention has also been placed upon the poorly understood bath structure in the course of field studies between 2000 and 2005. However, it is the recent studies carried out by the Turkish team that helped to identify the units of this Roman bath, including praefurnium, storage room, caldarium, two tepidaria, an intermediate space, frigidarium, and apodyterium. The bath is located in the northern part of the city where numerous large-scale public buildings such as bath-gymnasium, theater, amphitheatre and stadium are found.
