The bath complex was a remarkable feat of engineering and a superb example of Roman art and architecture. It housed healing hot baths, swimming pools, cold rooms and sweat rooms heated by an ingenious plumbing system. Sadly, the temple was eventually flooded by the rising water levels of the river Avon and fell into disuse after the Romans left, becoming a civic dump and then a Saxon burial ground. General stuff accrued on the site and the Roman baths were forgotten about until rediscovered at the end of the nineteenth century; Jane Austen would have known nothing about them.
