Caerleon

Photos in no particular order!

Taking "wine" with Jocasta as she explained about how the Roman celebrated Saturnalia. We had to wear funny elf like hats, the girls had the points down the back and the boys had the points down the front. We learnt that some of our Christmas customs are the same as those celebrated at Saturnalia.

Exploring the remains of the barracks.

Trying out the soldiers bunks! Unfortunately we were not allowed on the top bunks.




Trying out the shields.

Trying on battle dress!

Looking at various Roman finds in the museum.


Admiring one of the mosaics in the museum.
