Touring  the museum of Roman baths is the best part of our journey.it's a place strongly recommended visiting. With not enough time,we still feel it Incredible to see artifacts so much preserved as they were thousands of years ago, with the help of acausti-guide with more than 10 languages available we visited different chambers with different stories,which let us have a better understanding of what their lives were like. It was also impressive that the Romans had used so many builders to construct the baths and water systems for the large civilization.

Does the phrase "daylight robbery" really originate with an old English tax on windows?I'd never thought of that. It's certainly true that in 1696, William III of England introduced a type of property tax that required owners of houses with more than six windows to pay a levy. This tax apparently persisted up for over 150 years until 1851. You can still see older houses in the UK which have windows bricked up to reduce the window total to six or under, which was a legitimate way of avoiding the tax.(from phrase finder,learn more,check it out)
