Open-Air Museum
The open-air museum lies on the site of the old civilian town. It includes ruins of the public baths and a reconstructed temple of Diana. Actors lead tours in tunics and togas, and you can buy replicas of Roman sandals and clothing here for your next toga party. The museum is enclosed and very touristy, but is interesting and good fun; descriptions everywhere are in English.
