Caerleon in Roman times was the base of the Second Augustan Legion and from A.D. 74, with its 'sister fortresses' at Chester and York, formed the main bulwark of military defence in the West.
Today, Caerleon - alone of the three standing - has escaped wholesale destruction by overbuilding and so ranks archaeologically as the largest and most important Roman military site in Britain, and one of the most important in Europe.
Recently it became possible to start excavating again and Dr. Nash Williams of the National Museum of Wales, who was in charge of the digging, shows the new discoveries brought to light and discusses them with Sir Mortimer Wheeler.
Played by Maria Korchinska (harp), Geoffrey Gilbert (flute), Jean Pougnet (violin), Thomas Carter (violin), Eileen Grainger (viola), Anthony Pini (cello).
Shoes, stockings, and accessories for all occasions.
