Soldier On!

Coming up this October half-term you can bring the family to the Yorkshire Museum to take part in some great Roman and First World War activities.

At the Yorkshire Museum you can find out what life was like as a Roman Legionary and handle real objects from the museum’s collections, which would have been used by Roman soldiers living in Eboracum (Roman York).

You can even find out what sort of kit a Legionary would have needed and have a go at making your own cut-out Roman soldier. Then meet the Centurion as he tests your fitness for the Roman Army and puts you through your paces in a drill session.

There are also drop-in session to create your own mini Roman catapult and a special Kid’s Curator talk all about the Roman Army.
