<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 7847654, member: 76221&quot;]A blast from my past. In 2001 my wife and I visited London and South Wales. London for four days, South Wales for a week in our time share. It was the first time either of us travelled overseas as we thought England was our west way to open our foreign travels by going to somewhere with no language concerns.</p><p><br /></p><p>We visited Bath, a truly remarkable City for extensive Roman ruins, the bath complex is amazing. On the way to South Wales we came across the small town of Carlaeon in which the Roman Legion <i>Isca Augustus</i> called home<i>. </i>We didn&#039;t know about the Roman remains there till we arrived in town. Whoa, says I, we got to go there. It was right downtown and we pulled right in. Pics will tell my story better than I. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to try on the armor and hoist my <i>gladius</i> in salute. The remains are quite extensive and remarkable including the colosseum which included the remains of a shrine dedicated to Mithrus. The museum itself is compact, but chock full of items from the many items of need for any army&#039;s permanent fortress of the time.&nbsp; The barracks area is extensive. If you are ever travelling there it is certainly well worth the treck. I would imagine it is even more developed since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>And no, I am not a member of the Chamber of Commerce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
