I walked past this every day when I was at school. My friend lived in the farm next door too! Caerleon has a new lido!

[@MarkAtkin]

I spent half my childhood in Caerleon. I've never seen the amphitheatre like this before.

[@randomgoat2272]

Me neither!

Love the Spartacus battle music

[@randomgoat2272]

Gareth Barrington thank you! I thought it was suiting for the amphitheatre!

[@jamesward-parrish2309]

Naumachia anyone?

[@01HiddenManna]

does this show that the Roman Amphitheatres were built with the capability to be flooded as a design to hold sea battles etc - this certainly makes you wonder

[@randomgoat2272]

Hidden Manna Yes, the Romans sometimes flooded their amphitheaters so that they could have fights on boats!

[@tomosphillipsguide6364]

They also filled many of their amphitheater’s up with water to wash away all of the blood and bodies,etc .

[@TimFromWales]

So its now a Roman bath?

[@randomgoat2272]

It would appear so!
