The Roman Amphitheatre at Carmarthen is a second-century Roman recreational structure located within the fortress of Maridunum in Carmarthenshire, Wales. The site represents one of the few known amphitheatres in Roman Britain and demonstrates the sophisticated urban infrastructure developed at this military settlement. The monument survives as earthwork remains, with the characteristic oval or circular form typical of Roman amphitheatres of the period. Its presence reflects the importance of Maridunum as a major Roman military and administrative centre in south Wales during the imperial occupation of Britain.
