I have posted before about the spectacular Hallaton helmet that was discovered in 2000 in south-east Leicestershire. A truly splendid example of first century parade armour it has now been conserved and can be seen in the Museum in Market Harborough. Alongside it are two skilled modern reconstructions of how it may have looked originally.
The helmet is described by Wikipedia in their article
The work is reported upon by BBC News at Unlocking the secrets of the 'bling' Roman helmet found in a field
It can also be seen in an illustrated online feature from Leicestershire County Council at Harborough Museum celebrates return of Hallaton Helmet
There is full length lecture about the excavation of the l helmet and other items in the hoard from Leicester University Archaeology at 🔎 hallaton helmet
