A talk connected to the Life at an Iron Age Hillfort exhibition.

Helen Sharp, Curator of Archaeology at Leicestershire County Council Museums, discusses the Roman cavalry helmet from the Hallaton Treasure – a collection of stunning finds buried at an Iron Age ritual site in Leicestershire – alongside two new replica recreations. She’ll discuss what the helmet reveals about religion, propaganda, status and Roman-native relationships.

Following the talk, you will have the chance to view 3D prints of the Hallaton Treasure.
