Meet a reconstructed Roman soldier and take a closer look at his armour, weapons and equipment.
What this video covers
Marc Sanders presents Placidus, a Roman soldier portrayed as serving at Noviomagus on the empire’s northern frontier. The demonstration introduces his armour, weapons and equipment through a re-enacted character. This makes an approachable companion to written explanations of the Roman army. It is a modern reconstruction from a continental setting, so the precise combination of objects should not be assumed to represent every soldier or every period of Roman activity in Scotland.
