Remove Hadrian's Wall Live! The Big Roman Soldier Event from your Itinerary

Hadrian's Wall Live!
English Heritage is excited to present an exclusive event for a UK audience. Visitors to Birdoswald Roman Fort during Hadrian’s Wall Live will meet Legio I Italica, the 80 strong Imperial Roman Army, all the way from Italy.

During our Hadrian’s Wall Live blockbuster event, witness the colourful and well-armed Roman soldiers as they practice their combat skills, battle tactics and artillery firepower that made the Roman army a formidable fighting force.

Then, prepare to get goose bumps as 80 legionaries take on 50 barbarians in a battle like you've never seen before.

During the day you can also see the life of the Roman Soldier and Barbarians in the living history camp on site.

The Italian Barbarians come from various Italian re-enactment groups: Touta Taurini, Clanraca, Sippe Ulfson and Popolo di Brig.

Venue

Birdoswald Roman Fort, Gilsland
