The ancient bathhouse, which is now said to be the largest private one in the city was found under meters of volcanic rock where lay for centuries.
The house which appears to have been owned by one of the city’s elites, was also home to big news last year when a massive banqueting hall was found there.
The bath house, which can accommodate up to thirty people, includes a plunge pool, and hot, warm and cold changing facilities.
The director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii has said that this bathhouse serves as a testament to the idea private homes were being used as a “spectacle” to engage with many guests, saying: “Everything was functional to the staging of a ‘show’, at the center of which was the owner himself.”
There were also two skeletons found on the site who had been killed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79, belonging to a woman aged 35 to 50 and a man who had been in his early 20s.
The equally spectacular banqueting room which had been found last year is a more intimate pale blue room which had been in the middle of a renovation.
