Ad Quintum Nymphaeum

photo

View of the remains of Ad Quintum ("At Five [miles]")—a place where riders would change their horses (mutatio). The row of arches in the center of the image are evidently remnants of a monumental water fountain (nymphaeum) that was built into the hill. On the left, with some protective covering, is the area where there was a Roman Bath.
