The Roman Bath open-air museum in the center of Jagsthausen shows the floor plan of a Roman military bath around 200 AD. Scientific panels use words and pictures to describe the bath building, its use and its significance for the everyday culture of a fort on the Upper Germanic Limes. Inscription stones, parts of a giant Jupiter column, brick stamps and a Fortuna statue are on display directly at the excavation site. The importance of the Jagsthausen fort lies in the fact that the oldest and the most recent inscription from the front Limes, the second longest archaeological monument in the world, come from Jagsthausen and these inscriptions allow the dating of the Roman period of residence east of the Neckar to be established.

The Roman thermal baths in Jagsthausen are now located in the middle of a new housing development in the town center and were excavated in 1991 and opened to the public in the following years. There are several places to sit around the baths.

The thermal baths were probably built around 160 AD in connection with a fort that was tasked with monitoring a section of the Upper Germanic-Raetian Limes. The fort originally had two thermal baths, but the smaller one no longer exists.

Old Roman inscriptions carved in stone have been preserved throughout Jagsthausen, which provide information about the life of the Romans on the Limes. At the excavation site of the thermal baths, there are many stone witnesses, which are also explained using some plaques.

The fort probably came to an end around 260 AD, when the First Germanic Cohort and the camp village were destroyed in connection with the fall of the Limes.
