Aquae Sulis, 100
This is Aquae Sulis at the height of its Roman use: a compact sacred complex built around a single hot spring and a temple to Sulis‑Minerva, drawing pilgrims, soldiers and traders. The walk follows the approach along the Fosse Way, moves through the temple and bath precinct, and climbs to a ridge that looks back over steaming roofs and the River Avon valley.
32 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Bath as it stood in AD 100 (“Aquae Sulis”).
