The Felmingham Hall hoard
Found at: Felmingham Hall, Norfolk (in 1844)
Date: 2nd-3rd century AD
These bronze objects were found in the large pottery jar. They are likely to have been buried in a temple, and they show how Roman beliefs combined with local British religions.
See if you can find these Roman objects: a little figure of a lar, a domestic spirit who protected the family and home; the goddess Minerva wearing her helmet; and the bearded head of the King of the gods Jupiter.
See if you can find these British objects: a rattle used when foretelling the future; the wheel of the Celtic god of change Taranis; two birds holding round objects in their beaks.
