牛津大学罗马历史专家马克·梅罗尼在威尔士彭布罗克郡发现了一座第四世纪的罗马堡垒，该发现为中世纪威尔士传说《马布诺基翁》提供了考古证据。1根据传说记载，罗马皇帝马格努斯·马克西姆斯曾在弗伦尼·法沃尔山附近建立军营，而此次发掘则证实了这一历史记载的真实性。1
堡垒遗址位于弗伦尼·法沃尔山峰西南方向约2英里处，规模为180×150米，推测可容纳约500名士兵。1发掘出土的文物包括两枚第四世纪晚期硬币、大量罗马瓷片与瓷砖、铁制风格笔和车辙痕迹，这些遗物为堡垒的年代和用途提供了有力支持。1该堡垒具有典型的罗马军事营地特征，呈"扑克牌形"布局，圆角设计，中央有矩形指挥部，南侧配有更大的矩形指挥官住宅。1
A fourth-century Roman fort unearthed in Pembrokeshire, Wales, has confirmed details from medieval Welsh legend about an imperial military installation in the region.1 Oxford University Roman historian Mark Merorni identified the fortification approximately 2 miles southwest of Frenni Fawr peak, with excavations yielding two late fourth-century coins, pottery fragments, numerous Roman roof tiles, iron styluses, and wheel ruts that substantiate the site's Roman occupation.1
The fort measures 180 by 150 meters and is estimated to have accommodated roughly 500 soldiers.1 Its layout displays the characteristic "playing card" shape typical of Roman military camps, featuring rounded corners, a rectangular headquarters structure at the center, and a larger rectangular commander's residence on the southern side.1 According to medieval Welsh tradition documented in the Mabinogion, Roman emperor Magnus Maximus established a camp near Frenni Fawr; the archaeological evidence now supports this historical account.1 The discovery was made in 2024.1
