BATTLE MUSEUM

Marcus, a Centurion of the Legion VIIII Geminae, and his wife Agrippina are visiting the Museum for two days on the 17th & 18th April. They will be displaying their costumes, utensils, swords, equipment and artefacts, giving demonstrations of domestic Roman life and what it was like to be in the Roman army. Marcus will have his great wear chest with him. He and Agrippina hope all children will take the opportunity of being a Roman soldier or a Citizen of Rome. http://www.battlemuseum.org.uk/
