Constantine VII did not allow any of his father's buildings to fall down 'including that great bath that had been contrived by his father Leo in the House of Marina, spacious as it was and the wonder of our State, which formerly had been neglected to the point that through carelessness and indifference it had been reduced to an ugly and unadorned condition and exhibited nothing but foundations. Constantine, then taking pride and pleasure in his father's works as if they were his own, made it new and restored it, not only bringing it up to its former adornment, but indeed, making it even finder by beautifying it all round and affording to the bathers the delights they had enjoyed before. It causes as much admiration to strangers as it astonishes the natives.
