This coin found in Leicestershire features a sword considered to represent the sword 🗡 of St Peter whose name is also on the coin. There is also a hammer 🔨 often taken to be Thor’s hammer, thus mixing the iconography of the Christian and Norse religions.https://t.co/LHQXszI061

Built in 1708 as a 'Meeting House for Protestant Dissenters', the Great Meeting Unitarian Chapel is one of the oldest complete brick buildings in Leicester. In January of this year the Trust awarded a grant to the chapel to help with essential roof repairs. #Leicester

It was thought to be too battered to identify but a 3D laser scan picked up some interesting things… (1/3)

A #Roman saw found at #Trimontium (Newstead) in the #ScottishBorders, #Scotland. It has been dated to AD80-100 and was found in excellent condition. The saw is hafted into a split antler handle, held firm by two metal rivets & the blade has both fine and coarse teeth.

Roman crocodile-skin armour; this astonishing helmet and cuirass was likely worn by a distinguished soldier during parades and cult processions in Roman Egypt. Perhaps a personal trophy from a successful hunt on the Nile? From Manfalout, Egypt, 3rd century AD. British Museum
