Tiompan, 'in that role' is implied by saying that the baths were dedicated to Minerva, a healing deity.

It is disingenuous to specifically mention 'a healing deity' and then claim you were not intending to mean the baths were dedicated to her in that role!

You seem to be attempting to persuade that you were explaining that the baths were dedicated to Minerva, but then adding 'a healing deity' as some sort of 'extra' and irrelevant information, regarding the specific point being discussed!

To claim you were making an intentional distinction like that is, as i'm certain you know, to admit your communication was quite poor, as it gives the strong impression you were attributing the dedication to Minerva in that specific role.

Finally, if you had included 'a healing deity' not as the specific, but simply in order to provide an extra snippet of information for us about Minerva, it seems very strange to only mention healing among many other possible choices!

So which was it?
