Viggen Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 The excavations at Springhead uncovered a large number of brooches. One in particular has turned out to be a very exciting discovery. X-ray photography showed that the 5th-6th century iron bow brooch was of Visigothic design, of a type known as Estagel. via Wessex Archaeology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldrail Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I agree. Trade can take objects a long way even back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 This is the very route that the Flavians ejected the Venetii from as an economic precursor to the physical invasion of Britain . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
