Meet the Tungrians – Arbeia, South Shields Roman Fort

Immerse yourself in the lives of 2nd-century Tungrians at Arbeia Roman Fort this summer.

See what it was like to be a man or family in the Tungrian Auxiliaries, who originally came from what is now Belgium.

The encampment will show you a living history display of food and cooking, a medical kit, weapons, and parts of everyday life on the Wall. Meet soldiers, mothers and children, carry out some drill exercises and even try on armour!
