This Is the Most Elaborate Warrior Tomb Ever Discovered in England


July 24, 2019

An Iron Age warrior who likely fought Julius Caesar’s legionnaires has been unearthed in the United Kingdom, according to news sources.

The grave of the Gallic warrior was filled with wondrous riches, including a bent sword and a metal helmet with a headdress, archaeologists at Fishbourne Roman Palace, a museum in Chichester, West Sussex, England, told reporters on July 22, according to The Telegraph.

Decorated with Celtic designs, the helmet is “absolutely unique,” Melanie Giles, a senior lecturer in archaeology at The University of Manchester, said, according to The Telegraph. This ornate headgear would have exaggerated the warrior’s height and would have made him look “absolutely fabulous,” she said.
