Flora: Plants in Roman Life

The Romans not only used plants for food, medicine, and dyeing, but also in religious ceremonies and as decoration. They wore wreaths of flowers and leaves during dinner parties, and decorated buildings and military standards during annual Rose Festivals.

Come along to the exhibition as the fort reopens and explore the importance and everyday use of plants in Roman life.

The exhibition will be open Monday 25 March - Sunday 29 September.

Free entry.
