Roman Army

This brilliant lesson has been field tested many times and has never failed to engage my students who love this topic. The lesson focuses on why was the Roman Army so successful and looks at all the key areas from organisation, recruitment, training and equipment. I usually follow this lesson up with an extended piece of writing or get get my students to design a Roman Army recruitment poster.
