An archaeologist, an expert who studies the past through physical remains, has discovered an ancient fort in Wales. The fort is linked to Magnus Maximus, a Roman ruler from the fourth century. According to a legend, he established a camp in Wales. The discovery may offer evidence that this camp actually existed.
Magnus Maximus also appears in the Mabinogion, a collection of stories from the Middle Ages, under the name Macsen Wledig. The newly found fort may therefore connect the story of his camp with an ancient place, although that connection remains a possibility rather than a proven fact.
