The Campus Agrippae stretches across a significant portion of the city, housing many buildings open to the public. Among them can be found necessities like a bathhouse — the oldest in the city, and open to all for a small entrance fee — and entertainment like a small racecourse for those who are not quite so successful to make the circus. A quiet library holds scrolls for the perusal of those who deem themselves scholars of philosophy, and wide gardens stretch out in neat squares, providing respite to weary visitors after a day of exploring the Urbs Roma. However, this area was not always as welcoming as it is now: once, it was the private building projects of a wealthy family, who sought only to make the area publicly accessible when they realised the boost it might have to their reputation. As such, the area still bears the signs of an area created for nobility, with attractive marble pathways lined with towering cypress trees that sway gently in the wind. This is the place to go when one has a few free hours in their day, for there is always something to do or discover.
