Nor are we here to see the mysterious stones at Stonehenge. About 50 miles past this ancient

wonder lays a truly magical place that is surrounded in history and mythology. So you're

asking yourself, what is Bath, England? Well it was a pagan dwelling that the Romans took

over from the Celts during their conquest of Britannia around 43AD Bath, England is

now dominated by its beautiful architecture and impressive religious churches, but at

one point in time this place worshipped more the just the Holy Trinity. They worshipped

the magical powers of the hot water baths. Hence, where we get the name of "Taking a

bath" Comes from hot water springs founded by the Romans. This magnificent bronze head

was sculpted after the pagan Celtic Goddess Sulis. Sulis was the goddess of nourishing

and life-giving. These hot water springs had a "magical" effect of curing ailments. No

wonder they worshipped this deity here. The Romans were so impressed by the majestically

powers of the hot waters that they built huge temples enclosing the natural springs to worship

and bath here. This was of course before the dominance of the Christian religion. Other

Gods were also represented here. Many believe that this head is a sculpture of the Roman

water god Neptune and the Owl of Minerva, in the lower right hand corner represents

wisdom. The owl has always been associated with wisdom and knowledge for its ability

to see even in darkness. The wealthier citizens of the Roman Empire were able to afford tile

floors. The ones who lived in poverty walked on dirt. This is where

we get the expression, "Dirt poor". Thousands of different coins and precious stones have

been discovered in the pools and the filters of the roman baths. One thing that led to

the Roman's superior standard of living was their advance knowledge of technology. They

even had civilized types of pipelines. The main majestic element that help cure the common

ailments was the plentiful source of sulphur in the water. This element with a combination

of other natural minerals in the hot thermal springs helped cure the sick from the common

colds. So what is Bath, England? It's literally a town like no other. urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags
