Roman History at the Grosvenor Museum

Roman history at The Grosvenor Museum January 2020 Chester has an important Roman history. In Roman times it was a legionary fortress called Deva Victrix (or Deva) in the Roman province of Britannia. The Grosvenor Museum in Chester has two galleries showing different parts of this history. The Newstead Gallery shows facts about the Roman fort, its soldiers and their way of life. It has models of the fortress and the local area and artefacts that illustrate their lifestyle The Webster gallery is a collection of Roman tomb stones that reveal a lot of things about the people at that time: the way they lived and the things they wanted to be remembered by. It also has an interesting video about a local woman who married a Roman Centurion Soldier. This fact sheet is about what we found in the Grosvenor Museum The walls socks.
