Wonderful. What a great way of bringing the past into the present. I loved visiting Vindolanda many years ago and bought a cook book of recipes they'd deduced from their excavations. Their version of baked egg custard is something I make frequently.

A horse's face guard (chamfron) found at Vindolanda, England. Dated around the 2ndC it originally had eye guards and brass studs in patterns. Worn during horse sports (Hippika gymnasia) the Romans would display incredible skills while wearing face masks and full decorations.

The roman fort of Vindolanda on Hadrian's wall has given us the most unique finds in history, the soil lacks oxygen and has acted like a time machine. This is the only original centurion's helmet crest in existence, I will cover more finds from Vindolanda in the next few tweets.
