 After nearly two years the BATAVI are back at a public event!  After doing last year's event as part of an online series of short pieces on late Roman life, we are able to do our next event in person. Of course, there will be some restrictions due to the current Covid regulations but we will be able to do most of our normal displays.

 

As part of the Leicestershire Festival of Archaeology we will be


Roman Around

Saturday July 17th – Sunday 18th: 10am – 4pm

at

Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre & Country Park, Sutton Cheney, CV13 0AD



Long before the Battle of Bosworth took place, the site housed an important Roman Temple. 

The Batavi Re-enactment group will be camped on site and covering a whole manner of everyday roman life experiences from home and family life aspects such as cooking and pottery to exploring the life and attire of a Roman soldier. 

What’s more Boudicca, leader of the Iceni Tribe will be there to tell her story, she’s not a fan of the Romans though, so there maybe some trouble!

More information include prices can be found on the Leicestershire Festival of Archaeology website.
