The remaining ruins of Baiae on dry land are still impressive. Including an ancient dome intact over a cistern.

“Though it has certain natural advantages, luxury has claimed it for her own exclusive resort... To witness persons wandering drunk along the beach, the riotous reveling of sailing parties, the lakes a-din with choral song, and all the other ways in which luxury, when it is, so to speak, released from the restraints of law not merely sins, but blazons its sins abroad—why must I witness all this?” he wrote.

What happens in Baiae, stays in Baiae.
