A richly illustrated guide to the world's sacred places,

Roman Sites in England

Britain was under Roman rule from about 44 to 410 AD. The Romans introduced new developments in agriculture, urbanisation, architecture and religion, leaving a legacy that is still apparent today. Remains of Roman temples, theaters, villas and artifacts are scattered across England and can be enjoyed both in museums and on their original sites. Below is an index of Roman sites and artifacts in England profiled on Sacred Destinations so far.



Roman Baths, Bath
 Bath - Roman Baths
Dedicated to the Celtic-Roman goddess Sulis Minerva, these ancient Roman baths are still fed by a sacred hot spring. There is also an excellent museum of artifacts discovered at the site.		  
London - Temple of Mithras
These foundations of a 3rd-century AD temple to the Roman god Mithras were discovered by accident during construction work in 1957.
