ARCHIVE CONTENT: An exhibition at the Bucks County Museum helps families and schools discover what life was like in Roman times.
Running until 5 November 2006, the exhibition examines the Roman Empire and Romans in Buckinghamshire as well as the life of soldiers and road building.
You can get dressed up in a toga and make your own mosaic, reconstruct a samian bowl, or build a Roman arch - as well as have a go at a timeline challenge
