The British Museum in London is set to open a new exhibition titled 'Legion: life in the Roman army' featuring over 200 objects, including cavalry helmets and Roman military tents. The exhibition, which runs from Feb 1 to June 23, 2024, showcases items that once belonged to Roman soldiers or their families. Notable highlights include the world's only intact semi-cylindrical legionary shield and the most complete classic Roman segmental armor. Additionally, the museum will display 10 stolen items to the public later this month.
