Roman authority in Britain lasted nearly 400 years.  Their legacy still captures our imagination and influences modern ideas of civilisation.  Introducing the effect of the Romans on Britain can be best understood by first studying the military, their dress, attitudes and beliefs.  Pupils love the challenge of “military training” to become disciplined Roman soldiers.
