The mineral spring and the curative mineral baths and buildings were instrumental in the prosperity of the city. We can judge from statuary images, inscriptions and coins about the prime role of the gods of healing – Apollo and Asclepius. Fragments have been discovered from an imposing statue of Asclepius, as well as a magnificent gilded bronze head of a statue of Apollo the Healer. The ancient mineral water reservoir, located to the south of Banya Bashi Mosque, was crucial to the arrangement of healing activities in the city.
