And now some pictures from @Archeonationale for #MuseumsUnlocked : Roman caltrops from Alesia...
More Roman weaponry for #MuseumsUnlocked, also from @Archeonationale : Helmet, catapult stones, Javeline point (I think?) and sling bullets.

And another Epona on a silver dish from 270-280 AD at @Archeonationale for #MuseumsUnlocked
Now here is Cernunnos, the (usually) horned god, but missing his horns here #MuseumsUnlocked at @Archeonationale
Taranis, the god of Thunder, with his cartwheel, but also wielding Jupiter's thunderbolt in picture 3 #MuseumsUnlocked at @Archeonationale
Sucellos, a god associated with agriculture and wine for #MuseumsUnlocked at @Archeonationale :
