National Roman Legion Museum, Wales

The National Roman Legion Museum is part of the National Museums of Wales.

Roman Wales was the farthest point west that the Roman Empire in Roman Britain extended to, and as a defence point the fortress at Caerleon, built in 75 AD, was one of only three Roman Legionary fortresses in Roman Britain. It was operational for just over 200 years.

The National Roman Legion Museum lies inside what remains of the fortress, and contains many artefacts from the period of Isca Augusta of Legio II Augusta from Roman currency to uniforms.

The Ruins of the fortress include the most complete amphitheatre in Britain.

Today at Caerleon you can learn what made the Romans a formidable force. Visitors can see exhibitions and artefacts that show how they lived, fought, worshipped and died.

The museum also includes a beautiful Roman Garden.
