"The stone tank still surrounds the Spring, although the roof
fell down sometime in the 6th-9th
centuries. The water still goes either to the Great Bath or
through the Roman drain to the river Avon. So the Roman
plumbing is still working!"
The Roman spring
Apulia: "There is a stone tank around the
Spring. It’s sealed with lead to stop the water from leaking
away. It can only go two ways: to the baths or through a big
drain out to the river."
"The roof over the Spring was added later. Statues of gods
and goddesses stand in the water. Plants grow on the walls
and sometimes birds fly through the windows. It seems more
like a pool in a wood than a water tank in the centre of a
town".
