Travel through time and learn about Roman life in the Stroud Valleys!

Turn yourself into a Roman by trying on a tunic and belt as you dress up like a Roman and give yourself a Roman name. Find out about Roman coins as you design your own and challenge yourself to learn some Roman numerals. Think about life in a Roman villa by making a paper mosaic inspired Roman mosaic floor patterns and think about Roman religion and belief as you make a Roman-style votive offering to take away with you. Then find out what it feels like to be an archaeologist by digging up some Roman objects in our mini archaeological dig and excavating some Roman ‘poo’ to find out what food Roman people ate.
