Following a rejuvenating makeover in March 2013, Canterbury Roman Museum provides a fascinating and family friendly insight into Roman Canterbury.

Built around the remains of an original Roman town house with mosaics and under-floor heating, the museum includes significant Roman finds and a brand new timeline which tracks the journey back in time from present day Canterbury to the original Roman street level.

See how the Roman town was built, stroll through the marketplace, handle replica dishes in the re-created Roman dining room, and discover amazing objects including rare tools, glass and a hoard of hidden treasure.

A late Iron Age soldiers helmet - a rare soldier’s helmet from the time of Julius Caesar along with brooch, small spike and some cremated human remains were discovered at Bridge near Canterbury in September 2012. This remarkable new acquisition will be on display now at Canterbury Roman Museum!
