A Son of the Rock

As well as the old Roman pools and archaeology the Roman Baths in Bath act as a museum with various exhibits to see.

Head of Sulis Minerva. The Roman name for the baths (and Bath itself I think) was Aquae Sulis – the waters of Sulis. Sulis was a local goddess and was merged by the Romans, as was their habit with foreign gods, with one of their own, in this case Minerva:-

A late Roman brooch probably Celtic in origin:-

Roman coins of various denominations:-

I forgot to post this picture among the archaeological ones. This is the Frigidarium, the cold plunge pool bathers went into after the main baths:-

There were various illustrations around the walls of how certain things might have looked in Roman times. For some reason the humans depicted mainly seemed to consist of scantily clad women.

This is a video of the water inflow into the baths. (It needs tilting by 90 degrees. My video editing skills are non-existent):-
