 Within the town are remains of public baths on the north of the Via Appia and of a theatre opposite, on the south.The former consisted of a large "cryptoporticus" round three sides of a court, the south side being open to the road; it now lies under the prisons.Beloch (see below) attributes this to the Oscan period; but the construction as shown in Labruzzi's drawing (v. 17) 1 is partly of brick-work and opus reticulatum, which may, of course, belong to a restoration.
