The '''Baths of Titus''' were [[public baths]] (''[[Thermae]]'') built in [[Rome]] in [[81]] by Emperor [[Titus]].
[[Image:DomusAurea.jpg|thumb|250px|The Domus Aurea still lies under the ruins of the [[Baths of Trajan]] (shown here) and the surrounding park.]]
The baths sat in the base of the [[Esquiline hill]], an area of parkland and luxury gardens which had been taken over by Nero (54-68) for his Golden House or [[Domus Aurea]]. Thermae Titi or Titus' baths were built in haste, possibly by converting an existing or partly-built bathing complex belonging to the reviled Domus Aurea. They were not particularly extensive, and the much larger [[Baths of Trajan]] were built immediately adjacent to them at the start of the next century.
