Bath, Somerset

1) Bath is a city in Somerset, …… England, most famous for\by its historic baths fed by three …… hot springs. The city is founded around ……. only naturally occurring hot springs in …… United Kingdom. It was first documented as …… Roman spa. The waters from its spring were believed to be …… cure for many afflictions. Since\From Elizabethan up\to Georgian times it was …… resort city for the wealthy. As a result of its popularity during\for the latter period …… city contains many fine examples of …… Georgian architecture, most notably the Royal Crescent. The heart of the Georgian city was the Pump Room.

2) The archaeological evidence shows that the site of the Roman Baths' main spring was treated as a shrine by the Celts, and dedicated to the goddess Sulis. The Romans probably occupied Bath shortly after their invasion of Britain in 43 AD. They knew it as Aquae Sulis (literally "the waters of Sul"), identifying the goddess with Minerva. In Roman times the worship of Sulis Minerva continued and messages to her scratched onto metal have been recovered from the Sacred Spring by archaeologists. These are known as curse tablets. These curse tablets were written in Latin, and usually laid curses on other people, whom they feel had done them wrong.

3) During the Roman period increasingly grand temples and bathing complexes were built, including the Great Bath. Rediscovered gradually from the 18th century onward, they have become one of the city's main attractions. The city was given defensive walls, probably in the 3d century. From the later 4th century on, the Western Roman Empire and its urban life declined. However, while the great suite of baths at Bath fell into disrepair, some use of the hot springs continued.

4) The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle mentions Bath falling to the West Saxons in 577 after the Battle of Deorham. The Anglo-Saxons called the town Baðum, meaning "at the baths," and this was the source of the present name. The old town within the walls was also largely rebuilt. The architects John Wood the elder and his son John Wood the younger laid out the new quarters in streets and squares, the identical facades of which gave an impression of palatial scale and classical decorum. Bath is connected to Bristol and the sea by the River Avon, navigable via locks by small boats.

5) Sally Lunn's buns have long been baked in Bath. They were first mentioned by that name in verses printed in a local newspaper, the Bath Chronicle, in 1772. At that time they were eaten hot at public breakfasts in the city's Spring Gardens. They can be eaten with sweet or savory toppings.

6) Bath's principal industry is tourism, with visits mainly falling into the categories of …… heritage tourism and cultural tourism. …… All significant stages of the history of England are represented within\without the city, from …… Roman Baths to Bath Abbey and the Royal Crescent, to Thermae Bath Spa in the 2000s. While many tourists come to\in Bath to see the city at\in general, some are attracted by\to particular aspects of the city, such as the Jane Austen landmarks or the Roman Baths.

7) Of Bath's notable buildings, Bath Abbey is one of …… most striking. Originally …… Norman church on earlier foundations, it was rebuilt in the early 16th century. The dominant style of architecture in Bath is Georgian. …… best known off\of Bath's terraces is the Royal Crescent, built between 1767 and 1774 and designed with\by the younger John Wood.

Veliky Novgorod

1) Veliky Novgorod is the foremost historic city of …… North-Western Russia, the administrative center of Novgorod Oblast. Notwithstanding its name, Novgorod is among\between …… most ancient cities among the Eastern Slavs. Of all their princes, Novgorodians cherished most the memory of …… Yaroslav the Wise, who had sat as prince while his father, Vladimir the Great, was prince in …… Kiev. Yaroslav promulgated …… first written code of\with laws among the Eastern Slavs and is said to have granted …… city a number of freedoms or privileges, which they often referred to\at in …… later centuries as …… precedents in their relations to\with other princes.

2) In 1136, the Novgorodians dismissed their prince Vsevolod Mstislavich. This date is seen as the traditional beginning of the Novgorod Republic. The city was able to invite and dismiss a number of princes over the next two centuries, but the princely office was never abolished and powerful princes, such as Alexander Nevsky, could assert their will in the city irrespective of the Novgorodians' wishes. The city state controlled most of Europe's North-East, from today's Estonia to the Ural Mountains, making it one of the largest states in medieval Europe.

3) One of the most important local figures in Novgorod was the Posadnik or mayor, an official elected by the public assembly (called the Veche) from among the city's boyarstvo or aristocracy. The tysyatsky, or "thousandman," originally the head of the town militia but later a commercial and judicial official, was also elected by the veche. The Archbishop of Novgorod was also important local officials and shared power with the boyars. They were elected by the veche or by the drawing of lots; after their election, they were sent to the metropolitan for consecration.

4) The city-state's exact political constitution remains uncertain. The boyars and the archbishop ruled the city collectively, although where one officials power ended and another's began is uncertain. The prince, although reduced in power beginning in about the mid-twelfth century, was represented by his namestnik or lieutenant, and still played important roles as a military commander, legislator, and jurist. Novgorod was never conquered by the Mongols during the Mongol invasion of Rus. The Mongol army turned back about 100 km from the city, not due to the city's strength, but probably because the Mongol commanders did not want to get bogged down in the marshlands surrounding the city.

5) The St Sophia Cathedral was built between 1045 and 1050. It is …… best preserved from\of 11th century churches, probably …… oldest structure still for\in use in Russia and …… first one to represent original features of …… Russian architecture. The Novgorod Kremlin, traditionally known as the Detinets, also contains …… oldest palace in Russia, which served as the main meeting hall of the archbishops; …… oldest Russian bell tower, and …… oldest Russian clock tower.

6) Outside the Kremlin walls, there are …… three large churches constructed during\for the reign of Mstislav the Great. St Nicholas Cathedral (1113-23), containing …… frescoes of Mstislav’s family, graces Yaroslav's Court. The Yuriev Monastery (one of …… oldest in Russia, 1030) contains …… tall, three-domed cathedral since\from 1119. …… similar three-domed cathedral, probably designed with\by …… same masters, stands in the Antoniev Monastery, built by\on the orders of Antonii, …… founder of/by that monastery.
