Roman sites

Classical archaeological locations

Roman sites are locations containing archaeological remains from ancient Rome or its empire—ruins of temples, baths, amphitheaters, roads, and settlements.

The term appears frequently in travel writing and heritage contexts: We visited several Roman sites in southern France.

Britain, with its centuries under Roman rule, has numerous Roman sites open to visitors.
