Roman sites in Dyfed (Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion)
Carmarthen was a Roman "civitas" or tribal town of the Demetae tribe. The Romans established a presence here in AD 75 with a military fort, but the civitas soon grew to include an amphitheatre, the remains of which are still visible.

Dolaucothi may have been the only gold mine in Britain during the Roman occupation, and there is evidence that the area was mined long before the Romans arrived. The Romans removed over a million tons of rock leaving behind chasms and pits where they mined the gold veins. The Romans left in the 4th century, leaving barracks, bathhouses and other town remains. Visitors today can see the underground tunnels and mining gear, plus the aqueducts that brought water to the mine.
