On Tuesday the 24th March, we had a very special visitor! \u00a0Decimus Gaius, a Roman soldier, came to Williamston to teach us all about life in the Roman army. \u00a0We learned lots about Soldiers’ uniforms and weapons, the food they ate and even their toilet habits. \u00a0We then got dressed in our own army uniforms and were taught battle formations! \u00a0Decimus Gaius was in charge, and gave us battle commands in Latin. \u00a0We learned how to attack in Tortoise formation, how to stay in army ranks and how to protect against attacking horses.<\/p>\n
As part of our Roman day we also enjoyed a Roman feast. \u00a0We relaxed in our togas and laurel headbands and tried various Roman delicacies. \u00a0This included bread, grapes, cheese, dates, red wine (blackcurrant juice!) and dormice (of the chocolate variety!) \u00a0The children took turns being slaves and served the others, and everyone lay on the floor and enjoyed the experience.<\/p>\n
