The Baths of Hercules were the largest thermae in the ancient Roman city of Mediolanum, present-day Milan. Built during the late 3rd and early 4th century under Emperor Maximian—who took the title Herculius in honor of the divine hero—the complex exemplified the grand scale of public bathing architecture in Roman provincial cities. The structure's name reflected Maximian's personal association with Hercules, making it both a functional civic monument and a statement of imperial authority in northern Italy.
