Roman baths were extremely popular during the Roman Empire's reign on Europe and part of Africa. But what would one of those baths look like, if it was built during the modern times in Antarctica?
First off, the baths I created were based off of the one in Aquae Sulis. This was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia. Today the town in known as Bath in Somerset. The town's most famous aspect was its baths which began being built in the AD 60s. ("Aquae Sulis"). "From the thermal spring flowed the sacred water of the Celtic spirit Sulis, whom the Romans identified with Minerva, the goddess of healing" (Watney 13). These baths are dedicated to Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom. Roman and Celtic mythology relate to each other, which shows just how close the two groups of people have become. These baths, by a Romano-Celtic collaboration, is just one of many other key additions to the Roman lifestyle. The impact these baths had was so prominent, there is even a resort and spa named after it.
