The Terme di Dafne, or Dafne's Baths, are a 4th-century Roman-Byzantine thermal complex, nestled on the west side of the Greek arsenals area. These baths share some connection to those Teofane mentioned, though the records remain confusing. Some believe today that this site serves as a structural complex with possibly private facilities. The northern segment boasts structures such as the apodyterion, frigidarium, tepidarium, calidarium, a semicircular pool-like structure, a platform linked to a lime kiln, and a drainage channel. In 1872, a small treasure was unearthed nearby, possibly belonging to Emperor Constant II or one of his courtiers. This discovery supports the notion that the baths might indeed be those previously cited by Teofane.
