Roman Britain (A-F)
The
Roman Baths
Bath, Somerset
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. Cotswolds
