Hallaton Helmet Update

[scotti73]

The helmet was found buried at the edge of a British religious enclosure with a hoard of coins and some pig bones. It is likely that the helmet was a votive deposit, either as a gift from a Roman commander or possibly a captured helmet. The cheekpieces are unlikely to be spares but offered due to there value.
What is interesting is that i would expect such an offering to be found in the centre of such a site, but this was found on the very edge.
