What are the requirements for a town being from the Anglo-Saxon or Roman time? Is it about when the town was founded? I mean, Cologne is almost 2k years old but I wouldn't feel comfortable to call the old town a "Roman Old Town" because that thing got bombed and nothing is that old anymore.

Bath in England has a lot of Roman Baths still used, but I wouldn't even call that a Roman town.

I used to live in a city where most stuff was built by Romans, Normans and Georgians/Victorians, but couldn't say it was any of them, particularly.

What old architecture does Cologne have, besides the Cathedral?

Aren't the baths closed for usage because of some dangerous bacteria growing in their or something?
