background reading: Asterix
If your kids are not already fans of Asterix and Obelix you should consider introducing it to them before your trip to Chester. All of the Asterix books are a joy to read and are liberally seasoned with historical fact (along with lots of fiction). Reading several of them will leave you with a sense of the world of Roman legionaries at the time of Julius Ceasar. It was Julius Ceasar who first invaded Britannia, though he did not stay, and knowing about this period will give the the context you need to understand the conquest of Britain that occurred about one hundred years later.
