Roman Museum

This subterranean archaeological site affords fascinating insights into everyday life in Canterbury almost two millennia ago. Stroll a reconstructed Roman marketplace and rooms, including a kitchen, and examine Roman mosaic floors. Almost everything you see here was only discovered after WWII bombs engaged in impromptu excavation. A highlight is the almost entirely intact Roman soldier's helmet dating from Caesar's invasion, unearthed near the village of Bridge in 2012. It's the most complete example ever found in the UK.
