Description: | The third-century barracks at Arbeia Roman Fort were destroyed by fire in about AD 300. These two archaeologists, excavating the red layer of burnt daub in one of the barracks in 1997, are about to discover an object of great value which the Romans left behind in the building. Notice the heap of shiny metal with a bright red object next to it lying under the measuring tape being held by the archaeologists. This is a complete chain-mail shirt. | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Identifier: | emu.ecatalogue.britisharchaeology.450948 | Go to resource |
