Comitatus, one of Britain’s finest Roman re-enactment groups, returned to Carmarthen on Saturday with spectacular results.

The free event saw two calvary displays and a hunting display demonstrated throughout the day, with a detailed explanation of roman life, and the skills possessed by the Late Roman Army such as infantry, artillery, archery and equipment, skills and tactics.  They even had an authentic looking roman camp!

The group appeared in Abergwili two years ago as part of the Romans in Carmarthenshire project. The Friends of Carmarthenshire County Museum were so impressed that they asked the group back and have helped sponsor this event.
