The Valkhof Museum in Nijmegan
« on: 03 September 2017, 01:26:27 PM »
This year JJ's Wargames temporarily located to Liempde in the Netherlands for a summer holiday which included a visit to the great Roman collection at the Valkhof Museum in Nijmegan.



This post will be followed by a report on our visit to Xanten and the Roman collection they hold together with a visit to Haltern and the reconstructed fort.

If you would like to know more then just follow the link to JJ's

The pattern of oxidation on that mask is interesting! Might some of the wear correspond to strikes by opponents' darts during cavalry sports...?
