EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of history, namely the Corbridge Hoard N081017. Housed in the CORBRIDGE Roman Town Museum in Northumberland, this extraordinary artifact was discovered back in 1964. The hoard itself is comprised of various items, but what truly stands out are the exceptionally rare fragments of lorica segmentata - Roman soldiers' armor. The photograph expertly captures these precious remnants, allowing us to marvel at their intricate design and craftsmanship. Each fragment tells a story of ancient battles fought and victories won by brave Roman warriors who once donned this very armor. It serves as a tangible link to our past, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that shaped our world today.

Historic England recognizes the significance of preserving such treasures and aims to share them with audiences worldwide.
