St. Albans Seg and sundries

[mcbishop]

Do you or does anyone else know if the collection has been published anywhere?

The lorica seg was published in JRMES 12/13 (Rosalind Niblett, 'A lorica fragment from Verulamium', 67-73) - it may be Boudican but the dating evidence is not very clear. Most of the other stuff has appeared in the various Verulamium reports* although (from memory) the mail came from a pre-Boudican cremation context in Folly Lane,** now thought to be a native officer serving with the Roman army.
