museums of Roman antiquities

Dedicated to the Celtic-Roman goddess Sulis Minerva, these ancient Roman baths are still fed by a sacred hot spring. The site museum displays excavations and artifacts from the baths and temple.

Located among Roman ruins, the Roman Baths Museum in Bath displays fragments of the Temple of Sulis Minerva, offerings to the goddess, the gilded head of her cult statue, and other notable artifacts.

This excellent modern museum has a huge collection of Roman sarcophagi, 4th-century Christian sarcophagi, and other artifacts up to the 6th century.

Museum. Coarse local sandstone, rock-faced and snecked, with ashlar dressings.
