Description: PAStCast! The podcast from the Portable Antiquities Scheme - the PAS Series 2 Episode 4: Military Matters! Episode 4 of our continuing journey through Shakespeare’s ‘7 Ages of Man’ [and Women!] brings us to the soldier, and so we’re turning to all things martial and military in this episode. Hosts Lucy Shipley (Finds Liaison Officer, or FLO, in Devon) and Ben Westwood (FLO in Durham) talk about military artefacts and weapons on the PAS database, and discuss THAT Roman cavalry helmet with our very special guest Dr Mike Bishop. Mike has both figuratively and literally written the book on Roman Military Equipment (you can access his extensive bibliography on his website: https://www.mcbishop.co.uk/writing/), and it was a pleasure to talk to him!
