Abstract

Gioconda Di Luca
Nullus in orbe sinus Bais praelucet amoenis
Riflessioni sull’architettura dei complessi c.d. ‘dell’Ambulatio’, ‘della Sosandra’ e delle ‘Piccole Terme’ a Baia

The ‘Villa dell’Ambulatio’, the ‘Villa della Sosandra’ and the ‘Piccole Terme’ at Baiae offer useful elements to define more exactly their socio-historical background. They aren’t property of the emperor, but of private citizens, as the clivi between the villas, the absence of inscriptions of imperial freedmen or members of royal family and modest artistic quality of the furnishings show. Chronologically the first building is the ‘Piccole Terme’ (half 1st century BC), followed a few decades later by the ‘Villa dell’Ambulatio’, while more later is the ‘Villa della Sosandra’ (in Claudian Age). Finally, the ‘Villa della Sosandra’ and the ‘Piccole Terme’ form one complex around the half-the second half of the Ist century BC and then include the ‘Villa dell’Ambulatio’, maybe in Severian Age.
