Hands on History Workshop

Overview


ENJOY A UNIQUE ROMAN OBJECT-HANDLING SESSION WITH OUR EXPERIENCED TRIMONTIUM TEAM

In this session you will get up close and personal with a range or original artefacts from the Roman site at Trimontium and from across the Roman Empire. Our experienced staff will take you on a journey through the Roman Iron Age here in The Borders and using carefully selected original objects from the Trimontium Collections you will get the chance to examine & experience this intriguing and enigmatic part of Scotland’s history for yourself.

  • Your session will include the chance to make and take home a Roman style wire-wrap ring…similar to those found at the site of Trimontium…
  • End your workshop exploring the Trimontium Museum and see how the artefacts help us tell the story of the Roman frontier fort and its people. This session is ideal for anyone interested in archaeology, the Roman Iron Age, museum collections and stories from the past.
