Finding Authentic Roman Soldiers

The Colchester Roman Society is partnering with the Passion Trust to offer Roman Soldiers complete with historically accurate costumes to Passion Plays around the UK. The Colchester Roman Society researches the recreation and equipment, training and lifestyles of the Roman military and civilians during the 1st and 2nd centuries.

Please contact them here or on their Facebook page or through the Passion Trust. Visit the Roman Military Society’s website here. For more information on how to book workshops and centurions for your performance: Information sheet.
