Moridunum, Roman archaeological site in Carmarthen, Wales.
The remains of Moridunum include stone walls, street grids, and structural foundations spread across 400 meters by 375 meters of urban development.
The Romans established this settlement around 75 AD as a military fort, which later transformed into a civilian town by 120 AD.
The excavated amphitheatre in the northeastern section of Moridunum measures 46 by 27 meters and represents one of seven remaining Roman amphitheatres in Britain.
Visitors can examine the archaeological ruins, defensive walls, and building foundations through guided tours arranged by the Carmarthenshire Museum.
The site contains evidence of a Romano-Celtic temple from the 1st or 2nd century, revealing the integration of local and Roman religious practices.
