Recent archaeological finds in Wales support the belief that the Roman presence in Rome was more extensive than previously believed. (See previous posts below.)

The latest finds suggest an extensive villa in Western Wales at Port Talbot. Ground-penetrating scanning devices have located the villa less than a meter below the surface of Margam County Park. It is well preserved and may yield interesting finds in the future.

Here is a good discussion on the planned excavations later this year of the suspected Roman villa at Port Talbot, Wales. The discovery of a Roman villa in Southern Wales will rewrite British Roman history.

This discovery forces a rewriting of Roman Wales:

  • It shows elite Romanized life deep into western Britain.
  • It provides a rare non-military high-status site in Wales, where most Roman remains are forts or camps.
  • It may reshape understanding of 3rd-4th century Romano-British society.
