Roman centurion, Roman Army Museum, Hadrian's
Model of a Roman centurion, an army officer in charge of the manoeuvres, conduct and training of a century of 80 men, wearing a plumed helmet and chainmail, in the Roman Army Museum, Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, England. A centurion would wear a sideways horsehair crest on his helmet, a chainmail shirt over a leather doublet and a cloak on his back, with a sword and dagger at his belt. Hadrian's Wall was built 73 miles across Britannia, now England, 122-128 AD, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian, ruled 117-138, to mark the Northern extent of the Roman Empire and guard against barbarian attacks from the Picts to the North. The Roman Army Museum at Carvoran fort is run by the Vindolanda Charitable Trust and forms part of the Hadrian's Wall UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
