What is recorded here

The remains of the baths at Segontium Roman Fort is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps Roman soldiers washed battle dirt from their skin while mountain wind moved through the broken stones. Maybe the hot water hissed and steamed until the whole valley smelled of damp heat. Imagine a man standing barefoot on wet stone, listening for the march of feet returning home.

Built by the Roman army during the 1st or 2nd century AD, the baths at Segontium Roman Fort were part of a key military installation in Roman Wales. They are important as they provide insight into Roman military life and the extent of Roman influence in north-western Britain.
