A Roman labyrinth mosaic from the legionary fortress of Isca Augusta at Caerleon — one of only three permanent Roman legionary bases in Britain, home to the Second Augustan Legion for over 200 years. Caerleon's amphitheater, barracks, and bathhouse complex are among the best-preserved in northern Europe. Geoffrey of Monmouth later identified the site as King Arthur's court. The labyrinth mosaic, one of Britain's rare Roman examples, testifies to the cultural transfer of Mediterranean motifs to the imperial frontier.
