Claudius Maximus continues his quest to educate the unruly British tribes inhabiting the South West peninsula about Roman military discipline and the benefits of Roman occupation. At the start of the workshop Claudius Maximus drills his recruits until they understand the discipline required to be a Roman Soldier in the 1st Century AD

Soldiers learn about the kit and the uses of the various weapons that accompany soldiers into battle

When exploring the Roman topic teachers, pupils and parents often become so actively involved that they make costumes and shields for the day.These are always very colourful and exciting occasions. Classrooms contain an amazing array of artwork and sometimes Roman food is provided

After lunch shields are introduced and the Romans are drilled ready for their battle against the Celts
