1 week agoTerracotta head found at Magna Roman Fort
A rare terracotta female head, likely a locally made copy of an earlier imported model, was discovered at Magna Roman Fort and is now displayed.
They form part of a new exhibition looking at the rebuilding works that took place a century ago, replacing most of the interior behind its famous solid fortress wall with the modern bank that's there today. The exhibition, in the museum's rotunda, shows the various stages of the rebuilding process, from demolition of the old, discoveries of the even older in the basements, and how the current bank building was constructed.
