Comments:
The route marks historical points in the city of Bath. Each plaque has an arrow indicating the direction to the next plaque.
The plaques have quotes from poets and thinkers associated with Bath, or those indicating themes related to the city.

The current plaque marks the Roman baths from which the city got its name. It is also a World Heritage Site because of them. The baths were already in operation in the first century AD. Click for sign's details

The quote is from the Latin grammarian Sulinus who lived in the third century in Italy. In the quote he mainly talks about Aquae Sulis (Waters of Sulis), which was the name of Bath during the Roman period.
