All equipment worn, shown and demonstrated is copied from actual archaeological finds. Some Real artifacts also included in handling sessions
What the Soldier Talks about:

Where he came from and why he joined the army.

What he had to learn to be a soldier.
What was all his equipment for and why he couldn’t shop at Tesco. (handling session with artifacts)

Why they wanted to conquer Britain.

How the Romans defeated the Britons and squashed the rebellions of Boudicca.

The Benefits of becoming a citizen.

Living in a new Roman Town, going to the baths, shopping, watching the games, having central heating…etc.

Life as a captured Briton, sold as a slave. Better or worse? You decide.

Could you be a soldier…?
Who will volunteer to join the army and get dressed in a real set of Roman Armour ?

Who can identify the the Equipment in the soldiers pack. What is it for, what its made of, do we use it today ?

Can they work together as a team like Roman soldiers as they are trained with shields and formation marching.

Can they perform the Testutoid (tortoise) formation under fire? (from the teachers).

Who’s got the best question….?
