Sorgente Montirone, Abano Terme, Veneto, Italy
Abano Terme (known as Abano Bagni until 1930) is a town and comune in the province of Padua, in the Veneto region, Italy, on the eastern slope of the Euganean Hills Regional Park; it is 10 kilometers southwest by rail from Padua. The baths were known to the Romans as Aponi fons or Aquae Patavinae. A description of them is given in a letter of Theodoric, the king of the Ostrogoths. Some remains of the ancient baths have been discovered (S. Mandruzzato, Trattato dei Bagni d'Abano, Padua, 1789). An oracle of Geryon lay near, and the so-called sortes Praenestinae ( i., Berlin, 1863; 1438–1454), small bronze cylinders inscribed, and used as oracles, were perhaps found here in the 16th century.
