An angry bearded man with shield and over the top bronze hat with bronze decorated crest with red feathers

A startling recreation of the North Bersted Iron Age warrior wearing his (not at all) ostentatious crested helmet

The warrior's damaged vertebrae suggest that he wore this hat quite a lot in life

Modern reconstruction of a prehistoric bronze helmet with two crescent-shaped crests with red feather ends on display in a museum case

A stunning recreation of the bronze helmet found in a prehistoric grave in North Bersted West #Sussex

On display in the #Novium Museum #Chichester

Customised with two crescentic openwork crests, this was undoubtedly one of the blingiest hats in the British Iron Age

A damaged green openwork crescent-shaped bronze crest lying on a light grey background in a museum case

A cresecent-shaped bronze decorated openwork mount originally fixed to the front of the helmet found with the North Bersted warrior

Part of a two piece crest which created a piece of head attire quite unlike anything else discovered from the British Iron Age 🤩

The partial remains of a Roman bathhouse with tiled hypocaust stacks in a museum setting

In the excellent #Novium museum in Chichester, West #Sussex, built directly upon the civic baths of #Roman NOVIOMAGVS

I spy, with my little eye, a nice little underfloor heating system 😉
