An artefact of significant archaeological heritage is set to return to Carlisle.
The Crosby Garrett helmet, named after the village near Kirkby Stephen where it was discovered in May 2010, will join other unique Roman cavalry objects on display in Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery.
They are on show in a wall-wide exhibition that stretches the full 150 miles of the Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site area – from Maryport in the west to South Shields in the east. It opens on Saturday, April 8.
Andrew Mackay, director of Tullie House, said: "The opportunity to once again display the Crosby Garrett helmet is really special; it is truly a breath-taking reminder of our Roman heritage.
"It will provide the icing on the cake for visitors to experience a series of major exhibitions featuring nationally important artefacts that explain the compelling story of Hadrian's Cavalry."
The Crosby Garrett helmet first went on display at Tullie House in 2013, attracting more than 20,000 visitors.
