Salvete Omnes,<br>
<br>
I thought it was about time we introduced our new group to the rest of the empire.<br>
<br>
We are Deva Victrix, an association of enthusiasts who work closely with ‘Roman Tours Ltd’. We are based in Deva (Chester) UK and hence, portray the (possibly slightly overdone) LEG XXvv. Our focus is on aspects of life in the fortress at the turn of the 1st century AD, both military and civilian.<br>
<br>
Our group was only formed last year but have already worked with LEG XIIII at Chester, York and Hadrian’s Wall, with LEG VIII at Chester and Hadrian’s Wall and with LEG VII at Chester and York. We also conduct regular displays in Chester City centre through the summer months.<br>
<br>
Our work with ‘Roman Tours Ltd’ has a strong focus on education working with schools in the area and further afield. With ‘Roman Tours Ltd’ we are involved with the (soon to be legendary) Chester Racecourse Roman Festival in June.<br>
<br>
We are hoping for an approach, which will make our past time more accessible to interested people from all walks of life. We’d also like to avoid the politics (if that is actually possible in Roman re-enactment) and work with any groups willing to work with us. Maybe I’m just a dreamer and a born optimist.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to a successful 2004<br>
<br>
