Capo di Bove, an archaeological site located on the Appian Way outside Rome, Italy, offers a unique glimpse into the past. In the 2nd century AD, it was once owned by Herodes Atticus and his wife, Annia Regilla. Excavations revealed thermal baths dating back to the middle of the 2nd century, which were for private use.
The site also includes several well-preserved mosaics and Greek inscriptions that remind us of the Greek origins of Herodes Atticus. Visitors can also see numerous Roman ruins incorporated into the villa's walls, including pipes from the baths that are built into some of the windows.
