Roman Caerleon

Isca - Legionary Fortress

The Second Augustan Legion moved here about 75AD, and Caerleon remained a major Roman location until about 240AD.






The entrance to the museum; inside the museum - which is much larger than it appears here, and, like everything else is beautifully kept and presented; a Roman gravestone; a Roman treasure trove; and the amphitheatre. Not shown, are the Roman baths, and the Roman barracks.

The perfect place to dine and stay in South Wales

The Stonemill, near Monmouth. I have not stayed here, but I have dined here and can attest to the quality both of the food and drink, and also of the service.
