As a perfume it was strewn in Greek halls, courts and theatres, and in the Roman baths.
Even at the present day their value is much appreciated by the natives, who continue to bathe in the ruined Roman baths.
The celebrated Roman baths are all in ruins, except one massive, domed building, dating from the 6th century and still in use, although modern baths are also open, for the development of the hot springs.
In 1784 wellpreserved Roman baths were discovered here.
Remains of Roman baths and of a theatre have been discovered in the course of excavation (Notizie degli scavi, 1877, 235; 1881, 205; 1882, 289), and the town was probably a municipium.
