Elite Roman unit returns to Yorkshire
The group takes it name from an elite unit based near Bridlington to repel foreign invaders. They will be turning the clock back 1600 years with displays of arms drill and, weapons demonstrations using spears, swords and axes and a fearsome siege weapon called the ballista.
Forestry Commission recreation manager Katie Thorn said: 'The Romans may be long gone, but you don't have to look too far in North Yorkshire to see evidence of their occupation. Just up the road from Dalby is Cawthorne marching camp – a huge complex of earthworks where the soldiers were put through their paces.'
