Carmarthen Roman Town is a Roman civil settlement located in Carmarthenshire, Wales, established as the military fort of Moridvnum in the first century AD. The site represents an important Roman administrative and commercial centre in South Wales, initially founded as a legionary fortress before developing into a civilian town during the second and later centuries. Archaeological evidence indicates occupation and activity spanning several centuries of Roman rule in Britain. The town's strategic location on the River Towy made it a significant node in the Roman military and economic network of south-western Britain.
