Event:Roman Army Week

National Roman Legion Museum
Finished

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.
