NYMPHEE

By retraversant the palaestra towards the north-east, we go to the location of a Byzantine church built in the th century under Justinian, before reaching the nymphée. The nymphée was built in the th century under the reign of Septime Harsh to connect Les's thermal baths to the columns. The semi altar of the nymphée recalls in front a theatre wall. In the centre there was a pool dedicated to nymphs. During the Italian excavations of the 1920 s, the nymphée was stuck up to the top of the wall!
