Two Rare Roman Cavalry Swords Found in England

Two rare Roman cavalry swords have been discovered by a metal detectorist.

Found by Glenn Manning during a metal detectorist rally in March, the swords, which also had remnants of their wooden scabbards, were found in the north of the Cotswolds.

They have since been taken to the Corinium Museum in Cirencester to be preserved.

Museum Director Emma Stuart said: "It's an incredibly important find and one that should excite everybody."

"These two swords are testimony to presence of Roman military in the north of the Cotswold District," she added.

Professor Simon James from Leicester University said the weapons, which are believed to be middle imperial Roman swords and were found alongside a broken copper alloy bowl, are commonly referred to as "spatha" and were likely to be in use by the 160s, through the later Second Century and far into the Third Century AD.

The length also suggests they are cavalry weapons or weapons intended to be used on horseback.

With help from Historic England, the swords will go for further analysis under X-ray and an archaeological excavation and assessment at the dig site in the north of the Cotswolds may follow.

Cotswold District Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Health, Cllr Paul Hodgkinson said the "truly remarkable archaeological find" shows "what an incredibly deep history" the area has.

Research For What Did People Use Before Toilet Paper?

The reason this post on What Did People Use Before Toilet Paper? came to be was because I wanted to know how in the ancient times did people do their business so that my story would be more accurate.

This of course led me down a rabbit hole and I ended up finding out a lot more. I thought to myself I should make this a post because I might need this info again. It’ll also be convenient to have it all in place. However, at the time I forgot to include sources so I can’t recall all of them exactly.

But I do know that it was a mixed of articles on artifacts, historical documents and old texts, such as literature, personal accounts like journals and so on, because they contained brief mentions of what the people used as toilet paper in them, etc.

Behind the Screens

“Although the images pasted on the screens served a decorative function, they also became celebrations of the enormous changes taking place within the ‘regime of the visible’. The fields of unrelated and overlapping images that covered these screens were an expression of a new visual culture in the making. They were naive reflections of the frenzy of images made possible by photographic reproduction and new printing techniques.”

Corinium Museum, Cirencester; Anglo-Saxons

“Mrs Getty”; the Richest Burial

This display is a reconstruction of the richest grave at Butler’s Field, Lechlade at the time of inhabitant’s burial. It is the grave of a woman, 25-30 years old, whom the archaeologists nicknames “Mrs Getty” because of the wealth and number of her grave goods. The grave dates to the 6th century AD and is one of the richest Anglo-Saxon graves ever found in Britain. 

Her face has been forensically reconstructed from the actual skull, so you are looking at the face of a real Anglo-Saxon woman. Her clothes, jewellery and the objects laid around her have been recreated from the evidence that survived. While organic remains such as wood and textile have rotted away, small traces can sometimes be seen ‘fossilised in the corrosion of metal objects. The real objects found in the grave can be seen in the case.

Mrs Getty’s grave is not typical of those at Butler’s Field. It is only one of two in the cemetery to include a wooden coffin, and the stone packing around the coffin may have been to dissuade grave robbers. The sheer number and richness of her objects indicates that she was of high status within the community.

Our last stop was this lovely ‘wool-city’, Cirencester, in Cotswold.

This city with the localities was the central in the Roman area. Later it was an important wool trade point. So there are lot of turist attractions and there is a really good atmosphere pedestrian street with lot type of cafés, restaruants, fish and chips places, art & craft shops…

/Utolsó megállónk egy nagyon szerethető város, Cirencester volt, Cotswold-ban.

A város és környéke, a Római kor Angliájának központjának számított. Később fontos gyapjúkereskedelmi helyszín. Így elég sok látnivaló akad, többek között a kellemes hangulatú sétáló utca, különböző típusú kávézókkal, éttermekkel, fish&chips-ezőkkel, kézműves boltokkal…

We slept in the YHA Cotswolds. It’s a really new YHA Hostels.

The staff was really nice, the place was really clean and new, but I don’t really like it. Small room, unpractical-, airless spaces, fire alarm beeping all night, but the most incredible problem was: they haven’t got any free parking places. It’s a big shame, I think. I have never heard anythings like this. Our home city has got quite similar city center, so we knew, we could find free parking place if we walking to the border of the city center. We done it, but it’s not normal.

/ YHA Cotswold-ban aludtunk. Ez egy kimondottan új YHA épület. 

A személyzet nagyon kedves volt, a hely tiszta és új, de mégse igazán szerettem. Kicsi szoba, nem túl jól használható-, levegőtlen terek, egy egész éjjen át csipogó tűzjelző, de a leghihetetlenebb problémám az volt, hogy egyáltalán nincs ingyenes parkolóhelyük. Még életemben nem hallottam ilyenről… A szülővárosunk viszonylag hasonló berendezkedésű, így tudtuk, hogy ha eléggé a belváros szélére slattyogunk, fogunk találni ingyenes parkolóhelyet. Így is lett, de ettől még nem tartom normálisnak a helyzetet.

We started our walk in the Amphitheathre. We were really surprise because now you can find only some hills with grasses and with dogs and children running. But it was the biggest Amphitheathre in England…  

/Sétánkat az Amfiteátrumnál kezdtük. Ért minket némi meglepetés, mikor pár mesterséges dombot találtunk csupán, sok fűvel, és rohangáló kutyákkal, gyerekekkel. De ez volt valaha Anglia legnagyobb Amfiteátruma.  

We continued our walk and We went to the Corinium Museum. It was the best Museum of Local Lore which I have ever seen. I worked in a museum of local lore before, there are more finds then in Cirencester, but exchibition was a little bit old-fashiond. We wanted to refreshes it, but it closed, before we did it…

The Corinium Museum is huge so you can use your ticket all day. There are lot of good, cleaver and classy interactive points and children games. Not too much, not too silly, just enough. You won’t lose your interest. But if you will be hungry or tired, you can go to the Museum Café which is really likeable. They have got real coffee and delicious puddings.

/ A Corinium Múzeum volt a második megállónk. Ez volt eddigi életem legjobb Helytörténeti Múzeuma. Régebben dolgoztam helytörténeti múzeumban, aminek jóval több lelete volt, mint amit itt, Cirencesterben találtunk, de a kiállításunk kicsit avitt volt. Mindenképp szerettük volna felfrissíteni, de az épület bezárt mielőtt cselekedhettünk volna…

A Corinium Múzeum hatalmas, így a jegyedet egész nap tudod használni, elmehetsz-visszatérhetsz, de szerintem erre nincs szükség. Ugyanis elég sok jó, okos és egyben elegáns interaktív pont és gyerekfoglalkoztató van elhelyezve a terekben. Nincs túlzásba véve, egyáltalán nem bugyuták. Épp elég. Nem veszted el az érdeklődésedet. De ha mégiscsak megéheznél, elfáradnál, esetleg te is koffein függőként tengeted az életedet, lezuttyanhatsz a Múzeum kávézójába, ahol minden igényedet kielégítheted. Mi sütiztünk és kávéztunk. Nem találtunk hibát benne.

                                                  After the Museum we walked in the city center and we watched the Church of St. John Baptist. It’s really beautiful from inside ans outside too. It is a really active church, you can find lot of programme in their webpage.

/A több órás beltéri mászkerálást követően megjárattuk magunkat a belvárosban, és természetesen betértünk a központi helyen lévő Szent John Baptista Templomba is. Kívülről-belülről egyaránt, nagyon impozáns. Emellett kimondottan aktív közösségről van szó, rengeteg különböző programmal várják az arra járókat, amit a weboldalukon lehet követni.

We drank our next coffee in the New Brewery Arts. This place is a centre of contemporary- and live arts. It was a really good excibitions. There are different art type studios, they organise courses and workshops, they have café and art shop as well. It was really sympathic, even though we are arrived late, so it was a quick look around and coffee.

/ A következő kávénkat a New Brewery Arts-ban ittuk meg, amit a környék élő-, kortárs művészeti-élet központjának tekinthetünk. Nagyon jó kiállítás volt épp látható. A kiállítótéren túl, különböző művészeti területre specializálódott stúdiók kapnak otthont az épületben, emellett rendszeresen szerveznek kurzusokat, foglalkozásokat és természetesen van kávézójuk és boltocskájuk is. Nagyon szimpatikus volt, még úgy is, hogy zárás előtt nem sokkal érkeztünk, így csupán egy gyors körbecsekkre és egy méggyorsabb kávéra volt lehetőségünk. 

Finally we took some evening photos and ate in the really autentic fish & chips place, in The Friar Tuck. It was a really good experiences!

And the fact is, we could find more sights if we have more days. I can recommend it to anyone for up to a week…

/ Végül esti fotókat készítettünk a városban sétafikálva, és természetesen kipróbáltuk a nagyon autentikus The Friar Tuck (= a szerzetes) nevű, fish&chips-ezőt. Nagyon jó élmény volt! 

Az igazság pedig az, hogy még bőven akadt volna látnivaló, ha áll a rendelkezésünkre egynél több nap. Így ezt a helyet mindenkinek tudom ajánlani akár egy hetes nyaralásra is…

A Rare Bronze Age Spearhead Found in U.K.

A rare Bronze Age spearhead has been found by workers while developing a wetland in Gloucestershire.

Experts discovered it at Cirencester Sewage Works, near South Cerney, earlier this year and on 10 May estimated it is about 3,500 years old.

Archaeologists said it appeared to be a family heirloom that was placed into a pit for a reason unknown.

Other items unearthed include a selection of prehistoric pottery fragments and flint tools.

The spearhead was found on 22 March at the site owned by Thames Water, which is being turned into a wetlands area to improve biodiversity.

Cotswold Archaeology project manager Alex Thomson said: "Items like this are quite rare and during the Bronze Age they would have been equally as rare and quite special.

"It's always exciting as you never know what you're going to find, it could be absolutely nothing or, as in this instance, you could find more than you bargained for."

Mr Thomson said he thought the spearhead was likely associated with a "wider settlement" found nearby during excavations undertaken in the late 1990s.

Thames Water archaeologist Victoria Reeve added: "We knew we were likely to come across something interesting while carrying out the work, which is why we had Cotswold Archaeology on site ready to record any archaeology that was present, but we were blown away by what we actually discovered.

"It was one of the first things that came out and normally, if we had started excavating, we might have expected something to turn up more mid-way through.

"There's been a lot of work in this wider area, so if you bring all of those sources together, then you can start to plot where you think people might have been in the past."

The items will be taken back to a laboratory for analysis and then handed to the Corinium Museum in Cirencester.

The Cult of the Mother Goddesses: one of the most popular religious cults in the Roman city of Corinium (modern day Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England), the mother goddesses represented fertility and were often depicted holding fruit, loaves of bread or small animals, or with young children. The cult is an example of a Romano-British hybrid cult, and the mothers are often in threes, a number sacred to the Celts.

All three depictions are from the Corinium Museum. The top one was found in Cirencester in 1899, carved from local oolitic limestone. The relief dates back to the second or third century AD. It may originally have stood in a temple to the Mother Goddesses.
