The image of a medieval knight moving slowly and stiffly under the tremendous weight of his costly armor as he readies for battle or a joust is firmly fixed in people’s imagination. But, according to art historian Matthias Goll, much of this vision is a myth. “It’s an old fairy tale that medieval armor was incredibly heavy,” he says. It was, in fact, relatively light and flexible. A remarkable example is this right-hand gauntlet recently discovered near Kyburg Castle in northern Switzerland in the cellar of a medieval building that burned around the middle of the fourteenth century.

When experts examined the artifacts, they determined these were bronze miniature portraits of Alexander the Great. It is a truly unique discovery of great historical significance, says Freerk Oldenburger, an archaeologist at Museum Vestsjælland.

Oldenburger explained the artifacts were produced around 200 A.D., an age called the Roman Iron Age. They were most likely ornaments attached to war shields.

A shoe buckle thought to have belonged to a Jacobite clan chief wounded in battle at Culloden has been discovered by archaeologists among other artefacts. Among the discovered artefacts are a large number of musket balls and grapeshot which were uncovered in a 60 square-metre area close to what was the British government frontline at Culloden Battlefield.

The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) have revealed the findings ahead of the 278th anniversary of the battle on April 16, 1746.

Experts have identified the object discovered by Rowan as a Roman armilla bracelet dating back 2,000 years. In the Roman Empire, bracelets were typically worn by women as an indication of their social status. Men generally did not wear bracelets due to their association with femininity. However, there were exceptions for soldiers with exceptional bravery or merit. A Roman general would publicly award these individuals armilla bracelets; the soldiers wore them as badges of honor.
