Urvinum Hortense[1] was an ancient Roman town near modern Collemancio, Cannara, Italy.
[3] In the early 1930s an amateur archaeologist found ancient remains on a hilltop not far from his hometown and declared them to be the ruins of Urvinum Hortense.
In a "Nilotic" scene, six pygmies with highly caricatured features are depicted along the four sides hunting exotic animals surrounded by luxuriant vegetation.
[6] The baths are associated with an important and long-standing family of the town, the gens Fiscilia and date from the late Republican era.
The baths were situated on the western edge of the plateau with shelter from northern winds and exposure to the sun.
