We are here at the Capito Baths, made up of a palaestra and thermae sponsored by Cnaeus Vergilius Capito, Commissioner of Asia Minor during the reign of emperor Claudius (41-54 AD).

The Capito Thermae were the most ancient baths of the city of Miletus, and were distinguished by their axially symmetrical architectural arrangement. The Humei Tepe Thermae were built in the northern part of the city during the 1st century AD, while the Faustina Thermae operated in the south part of the city from the middle of the 2nd century AD.
