And in a curious piece of timing, the post has just brought the latest Roman Society mailing with a colourful A4 sheet about the helmet and details of how to donate. Just serves to emphasise how little time has been made available for Tullie House to get things rolling - the Roman Society represents a considerable constituency who could bring money to bear on this but may not all live in the online world. It all looks like unseemly haste from brushing off the dirt to flogging it off.
