FAQ... Why do you use four lots of I and not IV to show fourteen, that is wrong!

Centurion and
Standard
Bearer
,
will visit your school and train pupils as new recruits and use Latin
commands to arrange them in parade and battle formation. Those who are
entitled by passing their training will be fitted in scaled-down genuine
Roman armour, manufactured manually by us using original techniques
and materials where possible. These pupils will then demonstrate to
their contemporaries the famous 'tortoise' battle formation .The pupils
will get a feel of what it was like to be in the Roman army during the
conquest of Britannia in the Ist century AD. Years later they will maintain
these memories and have a more clear understanding of history.
For history is the founding stone of all other subjects!
ROMAN COINS
Long before the days of television and Radio and Newspapers the Romans needed to send information quickly around the Empire. The most simplest way to do this was to stamp the latest news on coins. Normally the Emperors head was on one side much like our Queens head is today... and on the other would be the latest information.
When Emperor Claudivs invaded Britain he brought over Elephants to selebrate his great victory, and immediatley had coins minted with these strange new animals on the reverse of his coins. Gods, Animals from mythology, Temples, Ships and any new event that would inspire and promote the great changes within the ever expanding Empire. Also this way the Barbarians outside the Empire could be greatly impressed!
