The National Roman Legion Museum is inside the remains of Caerleon Fortress, the most westerly point of the Roman Empire in Roman Britain. It holds numerous artifacts of the period from 75 AD to 275 AD. Exhibitions depict what it was like to live, fight, worship, and die during Roman times. A full-sized barrack room allows visitors to don the replica armor of a Roman soldier to feel what it was like. The Roman Baths Museum and Britain’s most complete Roman amphitheater are both within walking distance. Another must-see is the Roman Garden, first introduced to Britain by the Romans as an ornamental garden designed for pleasure and relaxation.
