Romans all set to storm city gaol in battle gear

ROMAN soldiers in full battle gear will march on an historic city former jail at the weekend as part of a new living-history military show.

They will be flanked by Redcoats from the American War of Independence and men dressed in British and German army uniforms from World War Two.

And backing them up will be some of top re-enactor groups from Britain and America, including US Airborne troopers from World War 2, Iron Age Celts, the Bandenburg Commandos, the Medieval Archery Group and even Vikings.
