Thus, one would expect Epidauros to be at the forefront of new developments and to provide state-of-the-art therapeutic/curative facilities, particularly during its major expansion and monumentalization in the fourth and third centuries BCE. While not the site of origin of Asklepios and his cult, his sanctuary at Epidauros became the most important in the Greek world from the fifth century BCE onwards, serving as “mother” and model for many other sanctuaries of Asklepios. This paper critically reviews the archaeological evidence of bathing facilities in the sanctuaries of Asklepios and his father and cult companion Apollo Maleatas at Epidauros.
