Cumbrian Roman Cavalry Helmet
#1
Just in case you have missed this in the Sub-Roman Britain Thread...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/ ... or-cumbria

I find this sentance particularly disturbing

"The helmet was found in more than 30 pieces, but has been restored and cleaned for sale by Christie's. Archaeologists fear clues on how it came to be buried in rough land may have been destroyed in the process."

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
