Roman Tours in Chester recreate gladiatorial battles in Chester amphitheatre
ROMAN Tours gave plenty of entertainment to Cestrians and visitors to Chester by hosting mock gladiatorial battles.
The Roman Arena Games in the Amphitheatre in Chester depicted what would have happened almost 2,000 years ago.
The event was planned by Chester’s own Roman Army at Roman Tours UK and was completely free.
Visitors were able find out how the Romans lived nearly two millennia ago.
As part of the National Archaeology week, which the Arena Games supported, there were Roman soldiers from around the British Isles demonstrating Roman siege engines and performing a military display.
