Description
""Aquae Solis, or Notices of Roman Bath" by Harry Mengden Scarth delves into the history and archaeology of the ancient city of Bath. The author provides a detailed account of the Roman remains found in Bath, including sculptures, inscriptions, and artifacts. The book explores the origins of Bath, its significance in Roman times, and the cultural and religious practices associated with the city. Through a thorough examination of historical sources and archaeological findings, the author sheds light on the Roman occupation of Bath and the influence of Roman deities like Minerva and Sul. The book also discusses the Roman lead mines in the region and the presence of coal as a fuel source. By analyzing inscriptions and altars dedicated to Sul-Minerva, the author uncovers the religious beliefs and practices of the Roman inhabitants of Bath. The book challenges existing theories about the name of Bath, suggesting that it was originally known as Aquae Stdis rather than Aquae Solis. Through a meticulous study of ancient texts and archaeological evidence, the author paints a vivid picture of Bath's Roman past and its significance in the broader context of Roman Britain."
