Was looking through some photos and thought this was interesting.
I cannot recall if the finds are from the Boudican revolt period or not, but thought some might find the photos interesting.

And the Coolus on display. In the lower left of this photo is a spear butt(amusingly labeled as an artillery bolt head), and some slingshot and a sling.

The hamata has the fastening hooks still attached and is described as having a black finish.

Thanks for posting these Byron

Do you have any details of the belt?

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

I am afraid I don't Graham. It was a couple of years back now...2008 I think, and apart from being
part of the display, I had not heard of the collection at all before hand.
It was quite a surprising little museum. You could always contact them I suppose.
A lot of pretty interesting artifacts. And some amazing mosaics.

Some hores fittings....although the 2 in the top right almost look like later scabbard chapes?

And some horse shoes apparently?

And of course, the Bronze Rams head patera/pan handle photo I promised someone I would post a couple of years ago.... :roll: :oops:

And an interesting little chest in the background.

I have a copy of the little knife by Holger Ratsdorf....

And the mosaics which if IRC come from the villa which can be seen up in the park.

[Image: DSCF0058.jpg]

The last ones are displayed very imaginatively. Quite inspired layout I think.
