Abstrakt

The town of Marea/Philoxenite was built on the southern shore of late Mareotis, stretching parallel to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea west of Alexandria and the Nile delta, as the last “monumental Byzantine urban project before the Arab conquest of the Eastern Mediterranean in the second quarter of the seventh century AD” (Gwiazda, Derda 2021). There, a Byzantine bath (Marea T2) was investigated in 2023, which represents a specific type of Late-Roman/Byzantine bathhouses defined by Bérangère Redon and Thibaud Fournet. While the principal aim of the present text is to report on the findings of the 2023 campaign, placing these latest discoveries in a proper context requires first discussing the ‘regional model of Byzantine Mareotic bathhouses’.
