Day Six of a Tale of Two Cities

 I took a picture of this bust because it is of Charles Dickens, the author of the book in which our trip is named after.
 Here is a picture of my ticket to The Roman Baths.
 Here is a picture of the Roman Baths.
 This is a picture of what is thought to be the Gorgon's head one of the symbols of their goddess Sulis Minerva.
 This is the head of the goddess Sulis Minerva, the goddess that was worshiped in the Roman Baths Temple.
 This was found near the Baths, it is a lead letter that was burned thought to have gone to their goddess.
 Here are some of the things that were found thought to be used as offerings.
 This is a mason's mark found on some of the stones. A mason's mark was a mason's stamp so you would know the stone came from him.
 This is one of the the gems from a signet ring that was found in the drain.

                                           The drain.

                                         The Baths.
Each of those rocks had a slab on them so they could work as massage tables.
