Roman Bath

The last episode of our trip to England last winter ended in a city called Bath. It derived its name from a Bath site founded by the romans when they occupied the place.

We arrived in the late afternoon, hence didn't have much time to walk around the city. It's a good thing, however, that the torches in the Roman Bath site were lighted up in the evening. It gives more sense of being in a medieval era. It's also interesting that there's a 'druid priest' walking around in robes talking to visitors.

The bath facility itself is just a pool with hot water from the natural spring in the area. Maybe communal bath was more common then.
