Currently most of the archaeological park that can be visited consists, with the exception of the thermal baths and the gym, of private houses of the imperial age, characterized by a large typological variety: houses with a traditional layout, multi-family houses, large residences that develop part of their neighborhoods in dominant position on the sea and straddling the walls.
