UK, England, Bath, Steaming Roman baths
Roman baths at Bath, England. The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. the Roman Bath House is supplied by water which bubbles up from the ground at Bath and fell as rain on the nearby Mendip Hills. The temple was constructed in 60-70 AD and the bathing complex was gradually built up over the next 300 years. During the Roman occupation of Britain, and possibly on the instructions of Emperor Claudius, engineers drove oak piles to provide a stable foundation into the mud and surrounded the spring with an irregular stone chamber lined with lead

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Bath, England. The image showcases the magnificent Roman Baths complex, a true testament to historical significance. Steaming with rich heritage and architectural marvels, this site stands as a symbol of the past. Dating back to 60-70 AD, the temple and bathing complex were gradually constructed over three centuries. The engineers' ingenuity is evident in their use of oak piles driven into mud for stability and an irregular stone chamber lined with lead surrounding the natural spring that bubbles up from beneath Bath's ground. As we gaze upon this vertical shot, we are mesmerized by the steam rising from the standing water within these ancient ruins. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate its grandeur and imagine what life was like during Roman occupation. The combination of columns, elevated views, and intricate architecture creates a stunning visual spectacle against a backdrop of history-rich England. This local landmark serves as both a travel destination for curious explorers seeking glimpses into our past and a reminder of how far civilization has come in terms of hygiene practices. In this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we witness an extraordinary blend of nature's gift – rain falling on nearby Mendip Hills – with human engineering brilliance resulting in one remarkable monument: The Roman Baths at Bath, England.
