Aquae Sulis

Aquae Sulis was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia, established within the first few years after the Roman conquest of Britain, at the point where the Fosse Way crosses the River Avon amid naturally occurring hot springs. By the 3rd century AD it had grown into an important walled temple and bath complex that appears to have drawn visitors before falling into disrepair and eventual decline by the start of the 5th century. Ancient sources recorded the settlement under variant names, including Aquis Sulis in the Antonine Itinerary and Aquae calidae in Ptolemy's 2nd-century Geographia. Its site is occupied today by the city of Bath, England.
