Organised by the Maison des Sciences Humaines de Clermont-Ferrand (Université Clermont Auvergne, CNRS), the Service régional de l’archéologie – DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, this archaeological congress will bring together specialists in ancient curative thermalism to discuss the theme ‘The present and future of Roman healing spas: Investigation, promotion and protection of thermal heritage’.
Following on from previous editions, the first of which was held in Kiel in 2020, followed by Basel in 2021 and Madrid in 2023, the aim of this scientific event is to promote new research on this subject and to present an update on knowledge of the thermal baths throughout the Roman Empire, with particular emphasis on those that used medicinal mineral waters.
