An ancient Roman bath complex was uncovered during the construction of a new fountain in Cologne’s Neumark, the culturally and historically rich center of the German city, according to a report by Newsweek. Ancient Roman baths are often found, or rediscovered, in Western Europe, almost all of which was under Roman rule from 27 CE through 476 CE. Just last month a Roman bath in “excellent condition” was found in Mérida, Spain. In March an ancient Roman bathhouse was uncovered in two miles northeast of Yenne, a village alongside the Rhône river in Southern France after plans for a new house warranted an archaeological assessment. And last year, a Roman bath was uncovered at the archaeological dig of the Temple of Khnum, near the Egyptian city of Esna.
