The Roman Army Museum

September 2020, Year 4 (age 8)

Today HB explored the Roman Army Museum. We began in the classroom where a hologram of the Greek slave Velius Longus taught us Latin, maths and a little about Roman morality.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the museum taught us about daily life at the fort of Magna (roughly situated where the museum is). We learnt about food, training, religion, and leisure.

At the recruitment tent Centurion Africanus tried to persuade us to join the Roman Army.
