The Roman Baths

Afternoon at the Roman Baths. King Bladud, so legend, has it discovered the springs when he was bannished from his kingdom because he contracted leprosy. Whilst living in the woods with pigs 🐖 he noticed after the pigs bathed in the muddy waters their leprosy disappeared. He decided to bathe in these waters as well and returned to his kingdom cured of leprosy. The Romans arrived in 43 AD and, over the next 3 decades, built a reservoir with a sophisticated series of baths and Temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva. It is very interesting and an amazing place to see.Okumaya devam et
