Photographer’s Note

This is Victorian sculptures of Roman emperors stand guard over the baths from the upper terrace.

The Terrace overlooks the Great Bath and is lined with statues of Roman Governors of Britain, Emperors and military leaders.

The statues date to 1894, as they were carved in advance of the grand opening of the Roman Baths in 1897.

The Roman Baths were not discovered and explored until the late nineteenth century. The view from the Terrace is the first view you have as a visitor to the baths, but what you can see from here is less than a quarter of the site as a whole.
