British Museum - Exhibition - Legion: life in the Roman army
« on: April 28, 2024, 05:29:40 pm »
I recently had the luck to be able to visit the current exhibition - Legion: life in the Roman army at the British Museum. I took some photos to give an idea of what was on display and have uploaded some to my gallery.
They comprise the last 49 images in the gallery linked below.

I hope that there is something of interest to members.

Wow. Thank you Martin. A very good idea to have put the photos in your gallery. And nice descriptions too, it should have been a lot of work to do it.

Martin,

Splendid work. I was captivated with them yesterday when I first saw them in your gallery. I will continue to look and learn.

There is too much to see and too much to record in the BM. I saw this on my way towards the exit. A tray from the collection of King George III containing a Twelve Caesars collection in gold. There is a fake Brutus aureus on the top right.
