We thought it was time for another update on the grave burial from Bognor Regis as yet more exciting finds have been uncovered.
The Helmet
The latest stage of the excavation has seen the helmet completely uncovered with the discovery of an attachment that would have held a chin strap in place. Although damaged the helmet is in one piece and, thanks to the painstaking work of our contract conservator Kelly Abbott, is ready to be lifted free of the surrounding soil. Read on to see some additional images of the helmet attachments........

Would the life of a Roman soldier suit you - free uniform, good rations, chance to travel? Perhaps you would prefer the life of a mosaicist, travelling from villa to villa to complete mosaics of the latest fashion for the owners?

Come to our Roman Family Fun day on Monday 27th July 2009 and you can find out what it was like for people living in Wiltshire when it was part of the Roman Empire. Read on to find out more......
