The FAO Building, originally built under the Fascist government of Italy, overlooks the "thermae" that were in operation until when?
Baths of Caracalla The Baths of Caracalla (Italian: "Terme di Caracalla" ) in Rome, Italy, were the city's second largest Roman public baths, or "thermae", likely built between AD 212 (or 211) and 216/217, during the reigns of emperors Septimius Severus and Caracalla. They were in operation until the 530s and then fell into disuse and ruin.
Italian invasion of Egypt The Italian invasion of Egypt ("Operazione E") was an Italian offensive against British, Commonwealth and Free French forces during the Western Desert Campaign (1940–1943) of the Second World War. The goal of the offensive was to seize the Suez Canal; the Italian forces in Libya would have to advance along the coast, across northern Egypt to the canal. After numerous delays, the aim of the offensive was reduced to an advance into Egypt, as far as Sidi Barrani and attacks on any British forces in the area.
