Event:Roman Army Week
Come along and join our very own Second Augustan Legion.
Meet our Centurion, take a look at some armour, weapons and military equipment from the Roman army and find out what life was like for a Roman soldier on the edge of the empire.
Have you’ve got what it takes to be a Roman legionary?
There’ll also be an opportunity to try on Roman armour and learn to march with the Centurion using Latin commands.
Finish your visit by buying a certificate saying you joined the Roman army and earned your first coin of pay.
Activity lasts an hour.
A FREE fun activity as part of Welsh Museums Festival. The Festival is funded by Welsh Government.
