Comments:

'Superb entertainment and educational as well!' Being old soldiers and airman ourselves it made us laugh  and seemed so familiar. The Romans never had an airforce but their army was so like us and our experiences.. jankers and fatigues, NCOs balling their heads off , posh officers! Things never change!' Maurice Wilkinson (Rutland Aircrew Association)

'Absolutely brought Romans alive for me!' So different to others I have seen!' Pupil at local school in Egham.

'The best day I ever had in school in my entire life!' pupil at local school Staines.

'Wonderful expertise and amusing too!' Teacher at maintained Grammar school, Cardiff South Wales.

'Cool!' A pupil at same school.

Home of the Real Legion IX Hispana! The Spanish Legion and subject of the famous childrens' book by Rosemary Sutcliff EAGLE OF THE NINTH!

It is said the Ninth was lost over Hadrian's Wall.....

However, 'tis said that on dark moonlit nights one can hear the haunting lament of a lone trumpet.....

Then are heard the shouts of command on the drifting breeze....

The Legion comes? The skin becomes goosebumpy! The hairs rise on the back of the neck!

The IXth comes!

As they come closer.. the tramp of marching feet carries forth as of days of old.....

Do their ghosts still march to victory across the misty moors after sundown?
