6. The Roman Baths The Celts adopted the hot spring as the home of their goddess Sulis. After 65 AD the Romans built a grand spa with bathing facilities. The majestic temple they built was dedicated to the Roman goddess of healing Minerva and the Celtic goddess Sulis. The settlement around the spa was named Aquae Sulis. The Great Bath was 1.5m deep.

9. Bathing was extremely popular, it also provided an opportunity for social interaction. Although mixed bathing was not uncommon, later different opening times for men and women were introduced. Aquae Sulis flourished till the fourth century. The monastery of St Peter was established in the 8th century. The Normans replaced the old Saxon monastery by a new structure.
