Delighted to see this mock up of the front cover of my first book, due to be published later in the Summer with @cambridgeup.bsky.social .

An iron frame for a #Roman legionary dagger scabbard, found in Exeter, on display next to a modern replica (with dagger)

We hope the original wasn't used on any of the Durotriges or Dumnonii 😬
