3. The city of Bath takes its name from a set of actual baths, begun by the Romans in the 1st century AD. However, you wouldn't have seen the name 'Bath' on a Roman map as they used which Latin name for their spa?

Answer:
Aquae Sulis
The name Aquae Sulis can be translated into English as "the waters of Sulis" - Sulis being the Roman goddess associated with the area's natural thermal springs. The Romans capitalised on this natural phenomena to build an increasingly complex suite of public baths on the site over the 300 years that they controlled England. In addition to the caldarium, or hot bath, whose water was supplied by the thermal springs, the Romans were also able to wallow in a tepidarium (or warm bath) or take a very quick dip in a frigidarium (a cold bath). The site was also a temple to Sulis and Roman bath-goers would throw small tablets into the water carved with their message or plea to the goddess.
After the Romans left England in the 5th century, Bath's Roman baths were gradually built over and redeveloped. However, the hot springs meant that the city has remained a fashionable spa resort. It was particularly popular with the upper classes in the Georgian era and much of the city's famous architecture dates from the period. In the 21st century, people can still visit the city to take a swim in the natural hot water - although not in the Roman baths, the remains of which are now housed in a museum and whose somewhat murky water is best suited to being photographed by tourists.
The incorrect options were all Roman names for other English cities - Deva Victrix was Chester, Verulanium was St. Albans and Durolipons became Cambridge.
