Yes, that too - busy lass ;-)

But your statement that, “...the bath themselves were dedicated to Minerva ,a healing deity.” needs evidence (though given that the waters were already recognised before the Romans as a place of healing it’s not unreasonable to assume that they (the Romans) bestowed on Minerva, in the form of Minerva Medica, those attributes.


You have more or less provided the evidence .
The baths were dedicated Minerva or more to the point Suils -Minerva and Minerva was a healing deity also associated with water in that she placed Pisces into heavens .
