What was it like to be a Roman soldier?

Children pretend to be new recruits in the Roman army and arrive at Segedunum Fort for their training. They will learn how to march and will attend a 'kit training' session in which an adult officer will get dressed in armour and be equipped with weapons. They will also make their own Roman helmet before learning how to fight as a Roman soldier.  

This session is aimed at KS2 level children. We ask that parents are responsible for children on their visits and accompany the children on the visit. We suggest that younger siblings aren’t in attendance, except for babes in arms. This is because of room capacity and for health and safety due to the objects in use.
