Welcome to the updated homepage of the award - winning Roman Military Research Society and its display unit, the Vexillatio Legionis XIIII GMV.

Cast your mind's eye back through time to ancient Roman Britannia. The year is approximately AD 43, and the Great Roman Empire has virtually conquered the world, by force and by skill-at-arms. The Romans have built a formidable military machine, based on well-equipped, strictly disciplined forces, commanded by some of the greatest military minds in the history of mankind.

One of the things I have been doing with my computer is creating maps of the ancient Roman Empire. It started out as a part of my daughter's homework a few years ago, I discovered that it was enjoyable, and lately have been working towards improving the maps.

This map of the Roman Empire was scanned from pages 16 & 17 of a 1925 reprint of the 1907 Atlas of Ancient and Classical Geography in the Everyman Library, published by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. and is, by Canadian copyright law, in the public domain, to the best of my knowledge.

The Roman army was very powerful and so it helped a lot in conquering the lands and provinces. The Army had different ranking soldiers commanded by the Emperor. The emperor gave the orders to centurions who passed them on to decurions, who then passed them down to the soldiers. The army had soldiers from all over the empire.

The legions represented the real power that was once ancient Rome, and were the epitome of Roman might. The intention here is to provide an abbreviated overview of that power, recognizing that it is barely possible to do even that within the limitations of this paper.

RomanArmy.com is an ever-growing encyclopedia, journal, and travelogue of the Roman military. A collaborative effort between Roman scholars and amateur enthusiats, the site is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource of historical articles, news, museum exhibit reviews, bibliographies, and epigraphic collections all relating to Rome's forces.

During the summer of 1999, my family and I visited England, and molded the trip on going to many Roman sites. We stopped at Cirencester (Roman Corinium), Bath (Aquae Sulis), Caerleon (Isca), Chester (Deva), Caernarvon (Saguntum), Hadrian's Wall: Vindolanda, Corbridge (Corstopitum), Chesters (Cilurnum), Housesteads (Vercovicium); Aldborough (Isurium Brigantium), and London (Londinium), and there are a few sites I can't recall the names of.

These games will help you remember the names of the Greek and Roman Olympians.

Listings and information about the greater Roman Gods and Goddesses.

Juno is the goddess of childbirth and the wife of Zeus[ Jupiter]. She is the most powerful goddess. She is worshiped by women as the protector of marriage. Her symbols are the peacock and the cow. She is the queen of the gods and goddesses. Juno has brown hair with a gold crown and wears a toga with a headdress. Juno's greek name is Hera.

Jupiter, (or Zeus to the Greeks) was the supreme ruler of gods and goddesses. When he was born he was rescued by his mother Ops from his father Saturn who had swallowed sisters: Ceres, Vesta, and Juno, who was also his wife, and his brothers: Pluto and Neptune.

The Romans were great soldiers and thought Mars, the god of War, was very important. They said that he was the father of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Mercury was the god of travellers. He had a winged hat and sandals, so he could fly. He carried a staff with two snakes winding round it.

Mercury originated as the Roman god of commerce and was prayed to mainly by merchants. His name comes from the Latin word "mercari" meaning to deal or trade. Later he came to be associated with the Greek God Hermes, adding responsibility for messages to his duties.

Minerva was the goddess of wisdom. Her symbol was the owl. Her Greek name was Athene, and Athens was her city.

A virgin goddess, gentle, fair and thoughtful, Minerva was the Goddess of wisdom, skill, and contemplation. She was also the Goddess of storms and the thunderbolt, spinning and weaving, of horticulture and agriculture.

Minerva was the multi-talented goddess of wisdom, poetry, music, medicine, arts and crafts (especially wool) , dyeing, science, commerce, and war. More generally she was the patroness of intellect and learning, especially academics. As Minerva Medica she was the patroness of physicians, and her chapel dedicated to her healing powers was on the Esquiline.

Neptune was the god of the sea. He carried a trident, which had three prongs. He rode a dolphin or a horse. When the sea is rough enough to show white tops to the waves, these are called sea horses.

Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, earthquakes, and the maker of horses. His wife's name was Aphitrite. He had two sons who were Triton and Pegasus. Like Jupiter he had many wives. One them which turned into a horse. Neptune was the oldest of all of his sisters and brothers.

Vulcan was the smith of the gods, and made Jupiter's thunderbolts. His smithy was in the volcano Etna, in Sicily, where you can see fire from his forge.
