History
Epigraphically and archaeologically attested bath complex at Capsa (modern Gafsa) in Tunisia. Two interconnected, open-air quadrangular pools, known collectively today as the "Roman basins" (Piscine romaine) remain. They were historically supplied by a mineral spring known today as Ain Dar el Bey.
