Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] In Milan, in the area between Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Corso Europa, when the city became the capital of the Western Roman Empire (286-402 AD), an extensive spa complex was built, the layout of which recalled the prestigious imperial models of Rome. The building, only partially investigated since the second half of the 19th century, was equipped with a rich marble decoration, including wall and floor coverings. The water supply of the complex is a complex issue, but it can be hypothesized that the water was at least partly conveyed from outside the city and stored in special tanks before being sorted through a special network of canals and pipes.
