[5206] Bath - Roman Baths : Temple Baths & Spring

Roman Baths Museum, Bath.

 

Temple Baths and Spring : 1st century AD.

 

The Temple and baths were built around 65-75 AD. They formed one of the finest structures in Roman Britain.

 

A stone reservoir was built around the Sacred Spring to collect the hot water and feed it to the baths. The reservoir was in a corner of a colonnaded courtyard. In the centre of this open-air precinct stood the classical Temple of Sulis Minerva.

 

The wooden model shows the complex at its greatest extent in the 4th century AD.
