On the Gulf of Naples, near Pompeii, stood the city of Baiae , a seaside resort where the rich and powerful of Rome vacationed, drawn by its thermal springs and hedonistic lifestyle. Thus, Baiae ended up becoming one of the favorite vacation spots of the Roman aristocracy. Characters such as the immensely rich Marco Licinio Craso, Pompey the Great, and Julius Caesar, who built his villa in the highest part of the coast, stayed in its sumptuous villas. Much later, this luxurious holiday resort was looted during invasions by barbarian peoples and abandoned after an Arab attack in the 8th century. But, in addition, Baiae was located on a very active volcanic area and in the 16th century seismic activity increased which ended up sinking more than half of the city under the waters of little deep in the bay. In 2013, Baiae was the scene of other archaeological excavations. A marble statue depicting Apollo, the Greek god of the arts, has been discovered and restored by the Central Institute for Restoration in Rome. It is expected that the sculpture will return to Baiae very soon, where it will be exhibited in the rooms of the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegrean Fields of the Aragonese Castle.

From an article by J. M. Sadurní, specialist in historical news.

20 novembre 1759 : bataille maritime des Cardinaux ➽ http://bit.ly/Bataille-Cardinaux Moins connue que la célèbre bataille de Trafalgar de 1805 mais tout aussi décisive, la bataille des Cardinaux, également appelée bataille de la baie de Quiberon et qui se voulait l’aboutissement du projet d’invasion de la Grande-Bretagne, se déroule durant la guerre de Sept Ans qui oppose depuis 1756 la France alliée à l’Autriche contre la Prusse et l’Angleterre, et marque une singulière défaite de notre flotte face aux forces maritimes anglaises

PATRIMOINE | La Madelon : l’un des plus petits ports de France (Pas-de-Calais) ➽ http://bit.ly/Port-Madelon Le port de la Madelon, situé au fond de la Baie d’Authie, était il y a bien longtemps un port dynamique protégé par un château fort. Si sa vocation n’est plus la même, il demeure assurément l’un des lieux les plus charmants de notre territoire

Baia și îmbăierea: Simbol și semnificație

Încă din timpuri străvechi, baia nu a servit numai pentru curățarea corpului; "curățirea" acestuia a devenit asociată cu puritatea simbolizând eliberarea de "murdăria păcatului", pe care o îndepărta apa. https://www.diane.ro/2023/10/baia-si-imbaierea-simbol-si-semnificatie.html
