Children also visited the amphitheatre and the Roman wall, which is located on the original site of the Roman town, and learnt more about London’s Roman heritage with a history tour.

Children traveled back in time and stepped into London’s Roman Amphitheatre, whose remains were only discovered in 1988. They had a chance to hold the roman helmit, which was an exact copy of the helmit used by gladiators when fighting.

Other elements of the Roman collection include coins, glass, wood, leather and bone. The coin collection provides useful reference material in support of the excavated coins held at the Museum of London Archaeological Archive. Which coin do you think is 2000 years old?
