Caerleon: Roman Baths

Caerleon: Roman Baths
Caerleon (Caerllion-ar-Wysg) lies on the outskirts of Newport on the banks of the river Usk. It was the site of the Roman legionary fortress Isca Augusta or Isca Silurum. The Roman baths had a swimming pool as well as a caldarium, tepidarium and frigidarium.

Thank you, Jaap! It's a highly interesting place. As usual, the museum is presented so much better than in Germany. Using beamers to bring colour to the excavations is a stroke of genius.

This had completely passed me by - I had no idea of its existence!. Maybe a recent discovery?
Thank you for showing!
Excellent! - will now go to the link ...

Thanks a lot, Andy! I think bits of it were known for a while but they keep finding more and more.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Gudrun club
Yes, when I studied history many years ago, I don't think the extent of the place was known.

Isn't it amazing that they still dig up new stuff! They even found the Roman harbour...

Andy Rodker club has replied to Gudrun club
I corrected my reply (I left out the word 'think' before - very careless of me).
Yes, a far more important port than thought before.

Gudrun club has replied to Andy Rodker club
I got your meaning even without "think";-)

Three superb pictures Gudrun. It looks a very interesting place to visit.

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne
Thank you so much, Rosa! The Baths are very well presented, they also show lots of everyday stuff (replicas of course) you can actually handle- like the sponges on a stick the Romans used to clean themselves after using the latrines;-)

Gudrun club has replied to Erhard Bernstein club
Besten Dank, Erhard! Bath wäre bei uns auch dabei gewesen, aber als ich die vielen Schulklassen anstehen sah, hatte ich keine Lust, mich da durchschieben zu lassen;-)

Wie kommen diese fantastischen Farbspiele zustande? Das wirkt so abstrakt, dass man erst mal sortieren muss.
6 years ago. Edited 6 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Gisela Plewe club
Schönen Dank, Gisela! Die machen das mit Beamer, eigentlich sind das alles nur Steine;-) Mit den Farben kann man Caldarium und Frigidarium gleich erkennen und beim Schwimmbecken lassen sie sogar römische Soldaten virtuell schwimmen.

Quite amazing, I only knew of the Roman baths in Bath.

Thanks a lot, George! This was one of three permanent large garrisons in Britain. so they had baths for their soldiers to keep them clean and fit;-)

The lighting is amazing! I particularly like the first PiP and would love to have my feet in there at this very moment. ;-)

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you so much, Amelia! The 1st PiP is an illusion, there was no water at all, they did a good job illuminating the stones;-)

Als ich diese Bäder sehe denke ich immer wie weit die Römer zu so alten Zeiten waren und wie sich das alles dann verloren hat und die Welt 1500 Jahre brauchte um ungefähr das wieder zu erreichen.
6 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
Danke, Dany! Du sagst es! Danach kam erstmal das finstere Mittelalter und mit Heizung und Hygiene ging es massiv den Bach runter.

Im erasten Moment etwas verwirrend, die (farbige) Beleuchtung ist extraordinär :-)

Dank dir, Volker! Vor Ort hilft dieBeleuchtung sehr, man sieht doch sofort an der roten Fsrbe, wo das Caldarium war!

Vielen Dank, Ko! Die Beleuchtung hilft zu visualisieren, was wo war, denn sonst wäre das einfach ein Haufen Steine;-)

Excellent series Gudrun. The coloured lights in the main image turn it into a great abstract. The water illusion in PIP 1 is amazing.

Thank you, Graham! I thought this museum very well done, the lighting made it easy to imagine how it once may have looked.

Das Hauptbild hat eine klasse Abstraktion. Auf den ersten Blick hatte ich den Eindruck eines Makros von einer Nachspeise mit Puderzucker und Schokladenpulver.

Herzlichen Dank, Leo! Deswegen habe ich als Hauptbild genommen! Hmm, Nachspeise klingt verlockend;-)
