Research and conservation in Marina el-Alamein in 2014 and 2015 (Polish–Egyptian Conservation mission). Part two: The Hellenistic Baths
Journal Title: Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean - Year 2016, Vol 25, Issue
Abstract
In 2014 and 2015, the Polish–Egyptian Conservation Mission to Marina el-Alamein undertook research, conservation and presentation of the area north of the central square of the ancient town. A major landmark in this part of the city are the public baths from the Hellenistic period, discovered in 1987. The work was focused on the main chambers of the bath: the central tholos with relics of hip-bathtubs, the neighboring room with an immersion bathtub, and a set of rooms in the southern area of the complex.<br/><br/>
