This is the heart of Bath. The hot springs gave Bath its name and its purpose. Baths were essential to the Roman way of life. Every town had them. There togas would be thrown off and bodies blissfully surrendered to the ritual of oiling, scraping, pummelling and wallowing. But Aquae Sulis (Bath) was something special - a town created around its baths. The remains of those great baths are remarkably complete and imaginatively displayed, making it a site of international importance.
