That is both points covered ,meanwhile you have provided nothing to the contrary.


It really isn’t for me to provide ‘contrary evidence’ as you put it. If I were a dowser and claimed on these pages that I could dowse underground water sources you might be justified in asking me to prove those claims. Likewise, as it is you who has implied that the springs at Bath were dedicated to Minerva in her manifestation as a goddess of healing, it is for you to provide convincing evidence to support that implication. So far you have simply supplied links to other sources – two of which make no reference to healing at all :-)


It's very simple ,
You can't refute it .
You don't seem to understand what you had actually said please re read
“...the bath themselves were dedicated to Minerva ,a healing deity .” which is hard to prove at best “.

The sticking point is the healing aspect .

http://faculty.vassar.edu/jolo[...]th_project/Sulis_Minerva_2.htm
The Roman goddess Minerva, “as a patroness of the art of healing she was honored at thermal springs (Mac Cana 34).”

http://www.romanbaths.co.uk/walkthrough/sacred_springs.aspx
In Roman times a great Temple was built next to the Spring dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, a deity with healing powers.

http://visitbath.co.uk/spa-and-wellbeing/history-of-baths-spa"sophisticated series of baths and a temple dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva.

Which of those don't mention healing in relation to Suilis Minerva and the Baths .
