AQUAE (Lat. for "waters'')

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 237 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
AQUAE (Lat. for "waters'') , a name given by the Romans to sites where
mineral
  springs issued from the earth. Over a hundred can be identified, some declaring by their
modern
  names their ancient use: Aix-les-Bains in Savoy (
Aquae
  Sabaudicae), Aix-en-
Provence
  (
Aquae
  Sextiae), Aix-la-Chapelle or Aachen (Aquae Grani), &c. Only two occur in Britain: Aquae
Solis
  less correctly Aquae Solisat Bath in Somerset, which was famous, and Buxton (called Aquae simply), which seems to have been far less important. Aquae Stills was occupied by the Romans almost as soon as they entered the
island
  in A.U. 43, and flourished till the end of the Roman period. It was frequented by soldiers quartered in Britain, by the Britons, and by visitors from north Gaul, and its name was known in
Italy
 , though patients probably seldom travelled so far. Like most
mineral
  springs known to the ancients, it was under the
protection
  of a local deity, the Celtic Sul, whom the Romans equated with their Minerva. Stately remains of its baths and temple have been found at various times, especially in 1790 and 1878-1895, and may still be seen there.
