Building a shield

[Marcus Mummius]

You only have to look at the helmet found with the internal felt and fur intact.

...which one is that, Jim? One of those Russell-Robinson referred to, though it sounds like a newer find? Tell more please !

It's an Imperial Gallic F type found at Vindonissa. The helmet has traces of leather on the outside, probably from the leather bag it was in, or perhaps a helmet cover (helmet covers are mentioned in several ancient sources). on the inside are remains of a felt and fur liner.
