Aquae Arnemetiae

Aquae Arnemetiae was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia [1]. The settlement was based around its natural warm springs [1]. The Roman occupation ran from around 50 AD to 410 AD [1]. The Romans built a bath at the location of the main thermal spring [1]. In 1787 Major Hayman Rooke uncovered a long section of the Roman town wall [1]. At the same time Rooke also documented details of the base of a temple in the same area [1]. The temple was dedicated to the water deity Arnemetia [1]. Aquae Arnemetiae was at the intersection of two main Roman roads: Batham Gate and The Street [1].
