The Roman Baths
|
|
|
The great Roman baths here were used from about 80-400AD, but they gradually fell into disuse, and were covered up by subsequent building on this site. Then in 1775 the baths and temple complex were discovered by accident, and they have been restored to their former glory. This is without a doubt the best Roman site in England, and well worth seeing. A museum houses finds from the excavations, including a giant stone Medusa's head, and a wonderful bronze head of Minerva.
