Abstract

Travelers in Italy decided to visit the site known as the Baths of the River Styx, located about 30 miles northwest of Rome. There are ruins of an Etruscan spa and Roman baths discovered by Lidio Gasperini in the 1970s. An 18th-century spa is located nearby as well. Unfortunately, in summer the hot springs were unbearably stifling, suggesting an entrance to the underworld.
