Caerleon was one of the most important military sites in Britain under the Roman Empire. Today, this is brought to life at the imaginatively displayed Fortress Baths and Roman Legionary Museum, and the amphitheatre, scene
of bloodthirsty entertainment and according to legend, the site of King Arthur’s Round Table.
