ULTIMA INTRA PUGNA PRIMA INTRA TABERNA
(Last into battle first into the pub)
Established in 2003, this is a team of committed enthusiasts was brought together by Roman Tours Ltd to provide Chester with its very own Roman display team.
Our primary function was to parade through the streets of Chester during the summer as a tourist attraction. Reaching the Chester Cross, we present a visual and verbal portrayal of life at Chester nearly 2,000 years ago.
In springtime we celebrate the standards of the legion leaving the Temple of Mars.
In summer we celebrate the many festivals and traditions of Roman life, continuing on this theme from May to October.
We then complete the year with our torchlight Christmas parade, (Saturnalia).
The Deva Victrix is open for anyone of suitable age to join. Younger people can join with their families. The group has a unique structure of democratic autocracy and has a membership mandate that allows people to attend as often as they like or are able: be that once a year or at every appearance you will always be welcome.

PS see you all at some point again when you get home.
I liked it in chester I liked it when the soldier showed us around and told us stuff
it was fun marching in our armour it made us feel like real soilders and marcus was a
great leader although he did shout alot.
When we went to Chester we walked round Chester with are armour on we felt very special.
We worked past lots of buildings and shops and they were very interesting
Marcus was funny when he called us numpties.
