Fighting in the time of ancient Rome

The armament of Roman soldiers

The numerous discoveries of offensive and defensive weapons allow us today to better know and understand the equipment that the Roman soldiers wore and its evolution during the imperial period. Let us go to the discovery of the offensive and defensive weapons of the fighters of the Roman army to seize their functions and their uses. Starting from the reproduction of weapons and models, we explore the variety and the functioning of the instruments and for the youngest (and the less young) let’s go to experiment the Roman combat, its formations and tactical dispositions.
