What was it really like to be part of the mighty Roman Army?
Natali wants to find out
Join Natali, her dad Eric, and Teddy as their Time Machine transports them thousands of years into the past - straight into the extraordinary world of Ancient Rome.
Suddenly, Roman legionaries are marching past with shields and armour. Standards rise above the ranks, commands echo through the camp, and Natali has hundreds of questions.
Who could become a Roman soldier? Why did they carry those enormous shields? How did thousands of soldiers march and fight together? And how did the Roman Army help build one of history's greatest empires?
Natali soon discovers that being a Roman legionary involved much more than battles. Soldiers trained, marched enormous distances, built camps, constructed roads and bridges, guarded the empire's frontiers, and relied on extraordinary organisation and teamwork.
