THE Roman Army will be marching into Cirencester this Sunday for a display of Roman military power.
The Ermine Street Guard will arrive at the Cirencester Roman Amphitheatre for the fist time in 10 years.

A living history camp will show the daily life of the Roman soldier with goat skin tents, medical instruments, tools and Roman food.
The Corinium Museum will also be providing children's activities.
