We intended this project to be about the water goddess of Bath, Sulis Minerva.
Then we realised that compared to lot of other myths and legends out there, Sulis Minerva is recognisable. One of the most amazing archeological discoveries in the city, and indeed of the British Roman world, is a cast gold face of this goddess.
We sent this picture out in a series of advertisements and posts. Asking people if they had any interaction with the person in the picture, or if they had seen her.
We didn’t expect anything meaningful. It was just a bit of fun.
When the responses referred to real places, real people, and began to correlate, we started to take notice.
This project is what happened next.
