Carmarthen Roman Amphitheatre is one of only seven Roman amphitheatres that survive in the UK. Dating to around 75 AD, the amphitheatre would have been the social centre of Roman Carmarthen. It would have played host to many things, including gladiatorial combats, public executions, man vs beast battles, military parades and holy celebrations. These days, it's a pleasant place to stop for a moment to soak in the history.
