See what life for a soldier in Roman Britain was like at these impressive remains
The Roman Fortress Baths in Caerleon were built around A.D. 85, but were not discovered until 1964. Constructed on the site of the 50-acre Roman legionary fortress of Isca, the permanent base of the Second Augustan Legion in Britain from about A.D. 75, they are the most complete remains of any baths in Britain. The stone building once housed an open-air swimming pool, hot, warm and cold rooms, exercise areas, and a changing room. Visitors to the impressive remains of the fortress baths, amphitheatre, barracks, and fortress wall will witness the scale on which the Baths were built and gain an insight into just how advanced the Romans’ engineering skills were.
