Title: Life in the Roman Army, Part One - British Museum
Post by: carojon on 04 May 2024, 08:59:03 AM

A few weeks ago I travelled up to London, and the British Museum to see their latest exhibition, bringing together the best of their collection and those of others, of Roman exhibits that tell the story of life in the Roman Army from the Imperial era through to the collapse.

Spoiler Alert: If you intend to visit this stunning exhibition, you might want to ignore my post about it, which I take a bit of a 'deep dive' into the exhibition together with links to others I have visited over the last decade or so in a two part post; however if you are not planning to go before the exhibition closes in June you might enjoy the read.

Interesting - thanks for sharing.
It's one museum I've not been to but would like to go one day as they seem to dive deeper than others while still making things interesting.
