Apulia: "Around the Temple and baths is the big town of Aquae Sulis. This is Latin for 'waters of Sulis'."

"There are houses, shops, places to stay and other bath houses. There is a temple which is round (we call it by its Greek name of tholos). There is a theatre. The main part of the town with all the important and big buildings in it is now walled and so you enter it through gateways. The town is famous throughout the Empire and tourists come to stay and visit the Temple and baths."

"We know people visited Bath, because it’s mentioned in a Roman travel book! We have also found the gravestones of people from different parts of the Roman Empire, who died in Bath."
