National Roman Legion Museum

It’s AD100, the Romans are occupying Caerleon (Isca), one of the furthest outposts of the Roman Empire, and they won’t be leaving for another two hundred years.

A Roman adventure awaits…
- explore the Barrack Room
- take a look at the oldest recorded piece of writing in Wales,
- see one of the largest gemstone collections found anywhere in the Roman Empire,

- get up close to a Bathstone Coffin with the remains of a 2nd/early 3rd century man

Did you know the Romans loved landscaping and introduced ornamental gardens to Britain? Come and enjoy our beautiful Roman Garden.


Also in Caerleon, you'll find the Roman Baths Museum and the open-air ruins of the amphitheatre and barracks.

National Roman Legion Museum is part of Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales, a family of seven national museums.
