Life in the Roman Legion

Drop in sessions every Monday and Saturday from 1st - 29th of August, 11am-1pm & 2-4pm 

Almost 2000 years ago the Fortress of Isca (Caerleon) played a big part in the north-western frontier of the Roman Empire.  Why not pop in to meet one of our soldiers from the Second Augustan Legion? They will show you some of their armour, weapons and military equipment as well as telling you about life for a Roman soldier on the edge of the empire.

Toxic Romans

Thursday drop in sessions from the 4th-25th August, 11am-1pm & 2-4pm 

What have the Romans ever done for us? We often reel off lists of accomplishments like aqueducts, public baths, roads and education, but the Roman Empire also had a downside. Some of what they did was definitely not environmentally – or human – friendly. Come to this drop-in session to find out more about toxic Romans.
