Warrior Challenge:
They may be tough enough for some of today's most demanding jobs, but will a group of marines, U.S. Air Force personnel, riot police and athletes survive a few days in the worlds of long-lost warriors? Viewers find out in this light-hearted new approach to 'hands-on history,' the genre made popular by series like THE 1900 HOUSE and FRONTIER HOUSE. In the four one-hour episodes, intrepid American and British volunteers travel back in time to live, train and fight as knights in a medieval castle, centurions along a Roman Empire outpost, Vikings and gladiators.

Eight volunteers learn what it was like to be a soldier of the great empire, including how to use Roman warfare

Knights
