description

The bath was situated opposite to the church of Anastasia, as Tiberius II (r. 574-582) revealed the name his empress in 578 as follows: "What is the name of the church [St Anastasia] which is opposite to the public bath of Dagistheus? The Augusta has the same name" (Theophanes, Chronicle; see Berger in Tocci, 2025, p. 221). This is in Region III, southwest of the Hippdrome, close to the Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Cami (Yegül, 2008, p. 181).

Also called Baths of Anastasius (see Janin, 1964, p. 217; Yegül, 2008, p. 181).

comments

Its location close to the sea suggests a low altitude, which means it was probably supplied by the Hadrian Waterway. (EDITORS: check)
