A multiple range of documents, belonging to different methods (methodical excavation, archaeobotanic, archaeozoology, historiography), probes that it was a collegia see, bound in the same enclosure with an Oriental garden and with Annios family Mausoleum, the same people who built the collegium schola . At the same time, this paper refute one recent proposal for the site, and refuse the explanation of Casa de Hippolytus as a suburban balneum belonging to a domus .

TL;DR: In this article, an interdisciplinary investigation of the properties of the heating system of the private baths in the imperial palace of the roman emperor Diocletian (end of 3 rd - beginning of the 4 th C. AD) in Split (Croatia).
Abstract: Searching for historical backgrounds of today’s technological achievements, the authors examined a case of heat transfer in the Roman period. This paper reports on an interdisciplinary investigation of the properties of the heating system of the private baths in the imperial palace of the roman emperor Diocletian (end of 3 rd - beginning of the 4 th C. AD) in Split (Croatia). The analysis of temperature distribution in those baths helped archaeologists to determine the functions of each of the rooms in the premises. On the other hand, thermodynamic calculation was conducted in order to get an insight in heating efficiency and temperature distribution in the most preserved part of the thermae.

TL;DR: The so-called Casa de Hippolytus as mentioned in this paper is one of the better fitted-out archaeological complexes in the Madrid area, and its analysis of every room as well as the building's internal distribution allows to identify it as a suburban bath complex.
Abstract: The so-called Casa de Hippolytus (The House of Hippolytus) is nowadays one of the better fitted-out archaeological complexes in the Madrid area. Interpreted so far as the schola of a collegium iuvenum , the analysis of every room as well as the building's internal distribution allows to identify it as a suburban bath complex. This important balneum , built at the end of the 3rd century or beginnings of the 4th century A.D., might have been associated to a wealthy outof-walls residence from Anios' family. It shares plan, typological and ornamental features with other private bath facilities widespread throughout the Western Empire. Baths would become emblematic spaces that showed belonging to a common culture and social group: the elite, which affirmed its authenticity and power through bath architecture.
