Chester's Romans to March on Rome!

Marching though Chester City CentreOn 20th April 2008, Rome celebrates its founding with a thousand Roman soldiers marching through the city and ancient forum.

Rome is celebrating its Founders Day by inviting the very best Roman re-creation groups in Europe to march once again as Julius Caeser once did through the heart of the city. Chester, once the biggest and best appointed Military fort in the northern half of the empire is invited to represent the city in Rome, due to the quality and authenticity of its Roman re-creation team, the Deva Victrix (Chester Guard).

WE THANK ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS FOR HELPING US PROMOTE CHESTER ON OUR WAY TO ROME!

Jones Coaches (Macclesfield) have kindly offered a coach at cost price but we still need to raise £5,000 to be able to undertake this mission.
