Mysterious Corridors of the Metropolis

At the end of the 2013 excavation season, of 40-meter-long brick vault corridors constructed in parallel to exterior walls to the north, south and west of the bath structure were unearthed in very well-preserved condition.

The corridors, which were encountered for the first time in the Metropolis, impart clues regarding community life dating back to 2000 years ago. A peculiar feature of the bath structures from the Roman Empire, the structure that was built in parallel to the exterior wall of the bath to function as a service corridor, was used by the staff and attendants employed at the baths.
