EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the 1950s, as we gaze upon the ancient Roman road, Sarn Helen, winding its way through the picturesque landscape of Bettws-y-Coed and Dolwyddelan in Caernarvonshire, Wales. Known as The Causeway of the Legion, this historic road once served as a vital transportation route during the Roman occupation of Britain. Sarn Helen, which translates to 'The Army Road,' was built around AD 77-82 to connect the Roman fortresses of Segontium (Caernarfon) and Deva Victrix (Chester). The road's strategic location allowed the Roman forces to maintain control over the region and facilitated the movement of troops, supplies, and goods. As we follow the road's meandering path under Mynyd Cribau, we can imagine the sounds of horse hooves and the clatter of chariot wheels echoing through the valley. The trees and foliage that now line the roadway have grown over the centuries, but the road's sturdy construction remains a testament to the engineering prowess of the Roman Empire. The 1950s image offers a unique perspective on this historical landmark, providing a glimpse into the past while highlighting the enduring beauty of the Welsh countryside. The Roman road between Bettws-y-Coed and Dolwyddelan continues to captivate visitors and historians alike, inviting us to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of Britain.
