Rome's Baths of Caracalla has unveiled a pool whose waters reflect the ruins of the ancient bath complex 1,800 years after its construction in the second century. The large rectangular pool, whose title Lo Specchio translates as "The Mirror", is intended to highlight a harmonious interplay between the ancient and the contemporary.

The pool was the idea of the site's director Mirella Serlorenzi, who describes the return of water as "decisive but respectful of the ruins", and the project was overseen by Rome's special superintendent Daniela Porro. The installation features 20 submerged water jets and spotlights which combine to create a play of light and evoke the steam of the ancient baths.
