The Roman Baths houses a museum collection of outstanding
quality and international significance. Many of the objects
in the museum tell us about the people who lived and worked in the
area and those who visited the great Roman religious spa of Aquae
Sulis – the Roman name for Bath.
This stone head of a lady, dating from the late 1st century AD,
is from a tomb. This hairstyle was very fashionable at the
time. There are a number of tombstones on display which show the
wide range of people who lived, and died, in Roman Bath. There are
also many altars which were found in the area.
This area has recently been redisplayed and includes film
projections of Roman characters to interpret scenes of Roman
life.
