The amphitheatre at Caerleon was built c.AD 90 for sports, military and religious festivals, and/or combat training. 🏟️ The arena grandstand would’ve been a timber construction that could seat 6,000 spectators.
It’s totally free to visit! 🏴

#RomanFortThursday - Biriciana (also called Kastell Weißenburg), a former Roman cavalry fort along the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes. Originally made of timber around AD 90, the square fort was rebuilt in stone in the middle of the 2nd century AD.

Ancient remains of the amphitheater in Carnuntum, a major city and legionary fortress of the Roman Empire. 2nd century AD. Altars for the Goddesses Fortuna and Nemesis were found at the south gate. After gladiator games were forbidden, Christians reused them for their baptistery.
