      Excellent Dave, the ole Romans were certainly around your area more than most.
      Remember, if there's a Roman villa around, when the main occupants owners died,
      they were buried along with their servants, mostly burned the villa, and some good kit went with them.

      Dave, what the size of that Hercules?

              Good bit of kit there Dave, if only it could talk mate. I bet it would have a damn good yarn to tell. Amazing craftsmanship when you think it's been moulded and cast from bronze, and the tools they had to work with. Took a bit of skill making that !

                              They used to plant small bronze statuets in fields for future generations to find.
