Who is Cara?In the north of Roman Britain the differences between the Romanised and native population following the Celtic way of life were more pronounced. Cara is a Celtic lady from the north of England living around A.D. 100. She tells the story of the Celtic way of life and how it was influenced by the Roman occupation. Her name means friendship. Cara’s father is a skilled metal worker who now makes intricate jewellery rather than the weapons of yesteryear. Other changes to the family’s way of life happened when her sister married a retired Roman soldier. Meet Cara as she is returning, burdened with packages, from a visit to her sister. Don’t be surprised if she offers you a nettle tisane. Cara's VisitCara can tell you about Roman British life from a Celtic perspective. Things she can tell you about include:

Travelling ShopThe museum shop experience can come to you. This could be a general shop that covers all of the primary history periods, it could be tailored to the Roman Britain period, or it could be the "step back in time shopping experience". The last option involves "swapping" modern money for reproduction Roman Britain money and purchasing from a range of items typically available in those times. |
