Roman Ingenuity
Join Lucius and Flavia as they take your audience through a journey of discovery of Roman life. Lucius is a trader and, although his parents are native Britons, he very much considers himself a Roman!
A journey to Rome when he was a child had him meet Heron of Alexandria and has been obsessed with inventions and science ever since!
Flavia, however, keeps the house and business in order, making sure that the festivals are observed, and the gods honoured properly. She is regularly vexed with Lucius tinkering with his machines rather than doing anything useful and occasionally gets her own back on him!
The Shows
As well as visitor engagement and games, as part of our Roman Event Days we provide several 30 minute shows throughout each day. Each show covers something different about social history, technology and innovation in the time of the Romans and is designed to get the audience involved and feel like they are part of the story.
Some of the shows might include:
The conquests of the Roman Empire may not have been possible if the soldiers were not also amazing engineers. Learn about the ingenuity employed by the Roman army, some of the impossible feats that they accomplished and how they did it.
Allow us to introduce you to some of the great minds of the ancient world, who proved the amazing power of water. Yes, we need water to survive, but people like Heron of Alexandria showed that water can be used to create engineering marvels, like his magical fountain, or Ctesibius’ water clock. In this display we show you some of these amazing inventions and how they work.
We all know that the Romans had many gods, but just how many, and… what did they all do. Also, what impact did all of these gods have on people’s day to day life out and about and at home. One thing is for sure, the Romans sure knew how to party, even though some of the customs seem a little strange today.

The Games
For many visitors it is the games that we provide that are the highlight. Our games are all Roman games that transport players back in time. We fill our Games Arena with many different games, that are relevant to the period, that visitors can play at their leisure and return as much as they want.
Our Games Arena gives visitors something to enjoy from the moment the gates open to the end of the day. Some games are simple, others have more intricate rules, and this spread means that there is something for all.
