The Society presents living history displays of Roman military drill and civilian life at venues all over Britain.
Members are of all ages, male and female, single, couples and families.
The team demonstrates the drill, tactics, battle formations, training, armour and equipment of the Roman army at the turn of the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. at the time of the Emperor Trajan. Troops are based in an authentic encampment area and, where space permits, displays include archery and the firing of a catapulta and manuballista. Various military ceremonies are also a regular feature including the swearing of loyalty to the Emperor, roll calls and military religious ceremonies. We also have a marine with two fully operational model Roman warships. Between displays soldiers talk to members of the public, answering questions, demonstrating equipment and eating authentically cooked Roman rations.
