La campagne de l'année 2014 présentée ici a permis d'achever le dégagement de l'établissement hellénistique, d'achever la fouille d'un puits qui a livré une canalisation souterraine et d'un four à chaux d'époque impériale avec ses deux aires de chauffe. Mais la découverte la plus intéressante est celle d'un second édifice de bain public au nord de la parcelle, un bain à tholos qui remonte au début de l'époque impériale.

Built shortly after the middle of the 2nd century AD at the center of the ancient city, these small-scale thermae conform to the traditional layout and include the characteristic rooms of the Roman bathhouses of the Imperial period. Several nearby kilns were used to produce lime for the construction of the baths. Converted into a rubbish dump after they were taken out of service, they yielded a rich assemblage related to the use of the baths. The abandonment of the bathing building took place shortly after the middle of the 3rd century AD, as evidenced by a treasure of 201 Antoninians hidden in the sewer of the baths. The book concludes with a discussion on the Imperial period in Eretria, bathing practices and their evolution as well as thermal baths in Greece.
With contributions by Benoît Dubosson (mosaics), Laureline Pop (sculpture), Marek Palaczyk (transport amphorae), Solange Bernstein (lamps), Brigitte Demierre Prikhod­kine (glass and limekilns), Sofia Raszy and Benoît Pittet (small finds), Marguerite Spoerri Butcher M. (coins), Tatiana Theodoropoulou (maritime faunal remains), Angelos Gkotsinas (terrestrial faunal remains), Evi Margaritis and Clémence Pagnoux (plant remains), Arnaud Coutelas (mortar analysis), Despoina Kondopoulou, Irene Zananiri and Gwenaël Hervé (archaeomagnetic study).
