Remains of a Roman amphitheatre, Carmarthen
Excavated in 1968, this is one of only seven surviving Roman amphitheatres in the UK. It is located on the north side of the A484, here named Priory Street. The amphitheatre was part of Moridunum (Latin for sea fort), the ancient Roman fort and town in the Roman province of Britannia.
After the Roman era, Moridunum was known as Caerfyrddin. Fyrddin is a Welsh mutated form of Myrddin, which looks like a Welsh form of the Latin name. Caerfyrddin was later anglicised to Carmarthen. Caerfyrddin may have been misinterpreted as "Fort of Myrddin", hence the town's association with the Arthurian Merlin.
