New Alesia museum
#1
There's a new museum at Alesia, which looks to be opening this summer. Unfortunately, I can't find an English version of the site, but it's still worth a look - and a visit, I'd say.

Thanks for the link!

A visit seems to be a must...

It looks promising, but they need to get rid of the segmentatas and (gasp!) trooper helmets in the come-on film.

On another page, there are legionaries in Coolus helmets and mail, so they've done it correctly in one place anyway!

The museum looks pretty cool. It's won a big award too:

The new place opens in 'late spring 2011':

On the site there is mentioning of the large weapons find under the Napoleon III exavations, many celtic weapons, all on one site, including some 30 odd helmets...
Could that be the remains of the Tropaeum ?

In what little defense there is for the trooper helmet, at least it was covered up with a wolf skin before any major problems could be seen
