Throughout the 1st century BC, the city of Baiae was a retreat and leisure destination for emperors and wealthy Romans. Tectonic movements between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD caused much of the coastline between Pozzuoli and Cumae, including Baiae, to sink. Today, its remains lie 5 meters below the sea.
