Royal Bath and West showground, Shepton Mallet, on April 17th 2010. The Model Show has been taking place at this venue for a number of years and brings together modelling enthusiasts and is an attractive two day event for the general public.

Bath
is a world renowned heritage location and during April each year the
city hosts a world heritage day. The main attraction is the Ermine
Street Guard, an internationally recognised Roman Army reenactment
group that displays all over Britain and Europe.
The ESG as they are also known were formed in 1972 and specialise in reconstruction and display of Roman armour and weapons from the first century AD. The members of the society are extremely passionate and knowledgable about the Roman Army of the imperial period and endeavour to interact with the public and raise interest of their period. Providing a highly absorbing and educational experience. They reconstruct exactly Roman army units of the time, with legionaries, the front line soldier of the legions, the auxiliary soldier who supported the legionaries, and officers such as the centurion. They also show the public elaborate drill and battle tactics such as the testudo in which soldiers locked shields to block enemy missiles. During April 2009 to mark World Heritage Day the ESG performed in front of Bath Abbey - and in April 2010 at the equivalent event they turned out with a full muster before the stunning back drop of the Royal Crescent. The galleries show the full range of skills of the ESG, including the use of missile weapons and catapults which the Roman army would have used in battle and siege. |
