What Was Life REALLY Like in a Roman Legionary Fortress?

What was life really like for a Roman legionary stationed in Britain? Join Kevin Hicks on location at Caerleon Roman Fortress and discover what everyday life was really like for Rome's professional soldiers in Britain. Explore the remarkable remains of one of Roman Britain's great legionary fortresses — once home to around 5,500 soldiers of Legio II Augusta. Walk through the Roman barracks where eight men shared cramped quarters, discover how the legionaries ate, trained and even went to the toilet, explore the fortress defences and kitchens, and step inside Caerleon's extraordinary Roman amphitheatre, where gladiators once waited before entering the arena almost 2,000 years ago.
