We had a brilliant time on our trip to the Roman city of Chester. We visited the museum where a ‘Roman senator’ helped us travel back in time and sail to Britannia to explore the sights and sounds of Deva including the city walls, the marketplace, the bathhouse, the latrines, the armoury and even the amphitheatre where we watched a virtual gladiator fight!
Next, we pledged 25 years of military service as legionnaires and began our training immediately, marching round Chester, visiting the real-life amphitheatre and practising drills in the Roman Gardens under the strict instruction of Lupis, our drill sergeant.
