The scene unfolds within the confines of Richborough Roman Fort in Kent, where Roman soldiers are engaged in rigorous training. With practice shields and swords in hand, these disciplined warriors undergo an intense session near a bustling forge. To the right of this dynamic tableau stands a training quintain, serving as both an obstacle and target for the soldiers' relentless pursuit of perfection. Meanwhile, on the left side of the image looms a formidable siege engine known as an Onager – a testament to Rome's military might and engineering prowess.

This print allows us to immerse ourselves in the world of ancient Rome – its military strategies, weaponry, and sheer determination that shaped civilizations.
