"Zeuxippos" redirects here. For other uses, see Zeuxippus (disambiguation).
The Baths of Zeuxippus were popular public baths in the city of Constantinople. The origin of their name was disputed already in antiquity and could go back either to the god Zeus or to the artist Zeuxis.[1] Constructed between 100 and 200, the Baths of Zeuxippus were destroyed during the Nika revolt of 532 and then rebuilt several years later.[2] They were famed primarily for the many statues inside them, representing prominent individuals from history and mythology.
