Deaf-led BSL tour of Legion: Life in the Roman Army
Event start date

2024
Join Alan Murray for a British Sign Language (BSL) tour of the new exhibition Legion: life in the Roman army.
The Roman empire spanned more than a million square miles and owed its existence to its military might. By promising citizenship to those without it, the Roman army – the West’s first modern, professional fighting force – also became an engine for creating citizens, offering a better life for soldiers who survived their service. Legion explores life in settled Roman military communities from Scotland to the Red Sea, through the people who lived it.
This event is in BSL only, with no voiceover or captions, and is part of the public programme supporting the exhibition Legion: life in the Roman Army (1 February – 23 June 2024).
