San Domenico
Bevagna was an important Roman city
The Roman Baths feature a magnificent mosaic floor from the 2nd century AD, adorned with depictions from mythology and the marine world. This mosaic is believed to be part of the frigidarium cold bathing area. It reflects Bevagna's past as an important Roman city for trade, and a transit point along the Via Flaminia. Recent discoveries beneath the former Dominican convent support studies and research suggesting that Bevagna had a river port directly connected to Rome via the river Tiber, serving as an important waterway in ancient days.
