There are countless examples suggesting that the site was dedicated to Sulis Minerva a healing deity , I could list some if you like ,or simply google it yourself . That is why I asked if you disagreed if it was the most common assumption .You didn't answer .
The argument is supported by the facts on the ground .
There is no evidence that can strengthen the case and until you provide anything to weaken it it makes sense to accept that assumption as the most likely .
Aye up Mr t. That’s not the point. No one’s disputing that the site is dedicated to Sulis Minerva – the question is whether it was dedicate to her in her role as a healing deity. That’s the point. So far the only link you’ve provided is one to the Roman Bath site which categorically does not mention her role at Bath as one of a healing deity.
As much as I’d like to spend time Googling the issue it’s not really for me to disprove your assertion that Bath is dedicated to a healing deity but for you to provide evidence that it is... if you get my drift :-)
