According to fable, Bath was founded by Bladud, the tenth ruler of Britain, after discovering the hot springs while in disguise as a swineherd. History relates, more prosaically, that the site of the main spring was treated as a shrine by the Celts, and dedicated to the goddess Sulis.

The Romans probably occupied Bath shortly after their invasion of Britain in 43 AD. They called it Aquae Sulis (literally, “the waters of Sulis”), identifying the goddess with Minerva.

During the Roman period increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built, including the Great Bath. Rediscovered gradually from the 18th century onward, they have become one of the city’s main attractions. Later in the Roman period, the city was given defensive walls.
