Lunt Fort Visit

Wow! What an exciting trip! We went back in time 2000 years ago and learned about the Roman Invasion in Britain.

We now know more about what Britain was like before the invasion and the beliefs of the Celtic people who were living in Britain.

After lunch, it was time for training. Each soldier was given their own sword (gladius) and shield (scutum).
