Carmarthen's Roman amphitheatre was excavated in 1968 and 1970 and is an elliptical shape, approximately 90 metres by 60 metres. It is thought to date from around 75AD. The town of Carmarthen was known as 'Moridunum' by the Romans. It is one of two such visible amphitheatres in Wales, the other is at Caerleon.
