Colchester Roman Helmet, Iron, Colchester, England, About AD 60-1

---

Helmet Iron, Colchester, England, About AD 60-1 In AD 60 or 61, Bodice’s revolt in southeast England followed a period of relative calm after Roman conquest. Her Icon people razed Colchester, then the capital of Roman Britain and a settlement for retired soldiers. This helmet is made from pieces of Roman helms found in the city’s destruction debris, a reminder of the number of Roman soldiers killed in the attack. Boudica was only defeated after London and St. Albans suffered similar fates.
