We've got an exciting new exhibition at Corbridge Roman Town on Hadrian's Wall, showing one of the most significant finds in Roman history - the Corbridge Hoard. Here you can watch this never before seen in public film footage of the excavation of the hoard back in 1964. The Corbridge Hoard is one the most remarkable Roman finds of the past century. The armour, found during the 1964 excavations, has since helped to shape Roman historians' understanding of Roman armour - definitely worth a visit to Hadrian's Wall! We've shared this great footage with the kind permission of Mrs A. Luscombe.

Corbridge Hoard
Wikipedia
The Corbridge Hoard is a hoard of mostly iron artefacts that was excavated in 1964 within the Roman site of Coria, next to what is now Corbridge, Northumberland, England.
It came from amongst the central range of administrative buildings in one of the early forts underlying the later Roman town and probably dates to between AD 122 and 138.[1]
The contents (which included iron/steel, copper-alloy, lead-alloy, stone, glass, and organic items) were buried in an iron-bound, leather-covered chest, made of alder-wood planks fitted together with dovetails at the corners.
