CHILDREN at Taunton Prep School were visited by ‘Claudius Maximus’ in full Roman uniform.
The youngsters found out about discipline in the Roman Army and took part in a drill, marching around the school field.
They learned when the Romans invaded Britain and tried on different pieces of a Roman soldier’s uniform.
They also recreated a battle between the Celts and Romans where, although the latter were outnumbered three to one, they were still victorious due to superior tactics and their ability to maintain formation.
