Quote:Is this correct? Are British Museums abundant with Roman horseshoes (as distict from hipposandals)?

Quite the opposite. I have been right the way through the collections of the Hadrian's Wall Museums (Housesteads, Corbridge, and the Clayton Collection, which is mainly Chesters) and they are conspicuous by their rarity. Finding horseshoes in a soundly datable Roman context is even harder. It is notable that the cavalry burials from Krefeld were IIRC unshod.
