Bringing Roman History to Life in Your Classroom

Interactive Roman History for Key Stage 2 and 3

Since 1994, we have provided immersive educational experiences to over 8,000 schools across the United Kingdom. Based in Hertfordshire and Sussex, our team specializes in bringing the ancient world directly to your classroom. We believe that history is the founding stone upon which all other subjects revolve, and our goal is to make the conquest of Britannia in the 1st century AD tangible for every student. Whether you are planning a curriculum-focused day or looking for convenient accommodation for educational staff visiting historic sites, our mobile reenactment service removes the logistical burden of travel.

The Legion Fourteen Experience: Beyond the Museum

Why go to the great expense of travelling to a museum when we will come to you? Our Centurion and Standard Bearer visit your school to train pupils as new recruits. Students learn Latin commands to arrange themselves in parade and battle formations, gaining a firsthand feel for the discipline of the Roman army. For those traveling to attend our workshops or visiting nearby historical landmarks, finding stylish lodging options or relaxed pet-friendly stays can make the trip much more manageable. We ensure that every student who passes their training is fitted in scaled-down, authentic Roman armour, manufactured manually by us using original techniques.

Ancient Technology and Roman Coinage Explained

Our demonstrations include the impressive Scorpion Catapulta, a formidable long-range ballistic weapon that served as the ancient equivalent of a light machine gun. Beyond military might, we explore how Romans communicated through coinage. Long before television, the Emperor used coins to broadcast news, from the conquest of Britain to the introduction of exotic animals like elephants. For educators and families planning trips to explore these historical themes further, we recommend looking into modern city-center hotels, quiet retreats near major event venues, or central London accommodations to ensure a comfortable visit. Understanding how the Romans impressed their subjects and rivals alike remains a vital part of grasping the scale of the Empire.
